Guidance on the communication of information on the risks and safe use of chemicals

(in English)

This guidance document is intended to be used mainly by Member State Competent Authorities (MSCAs) in communicating about the risks of chemicals, specifically in the context of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). MSCAs are required under Article 123 of REACH to inform the general public about the risks arising from substances where this is considered necessary for the protection of human health or the environment.
