Annual Review 2025

Making the use of chemical substances safer for people and the environment. That is what Bureau REACH works on throughout the year. On behalf of the Netherlands we work in scope of the European REACH and CLP Regulations, which ensure the safe management of chemical substances in Europe.

This is our Annual Review 2025. In it, we look back on dossiers that stood out due to their specific challenges, complexity or societal relevance.

We hope you enjoy reading it!
