REACH - register your application through the UKQAA
The Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals - REACH, came into force in July 2007. Between 1 June 2008 and 30 November 2008, producers and importers of substances will have to register them with ECHA - or take them off the market. Users of substances, such as coal fired power station ash products, only have to advise their supplier of the particular application they are using the material for. The UKQAA will be actively involved with the registration process and so called 'downstream users' can register their application with the UKQAA. See our REACH web page for more details.
