Chemical Watch quoted Simon Tilling in a April 21, 2022 article titled "‘Get a Move On’ with New UK REACH Model, CIA Urges Government." The article discusses the UK government’s delay in proposing an alternative model for REACH registration.
The piece goes on to highlight concerns raised about UK REACH at a recent Chemicals Industry Association (CIA) conference. Attendees noted UK REACH’s outdated legislation, and with major reforms planned to EU REACH, the potential gulf that will exist between the two legislations.
Tilling explained "We’re stuck with this frozen dynamic and a real confusion on the market about who can buy what from whom,”. He added that, for many substances, full registration data might be delayed until 2030.
