REACH

REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals and has been governed by the chemicals legislation in the EU since 2007 to protect people and the environment. It is considered one of the strictest chemical laws in the world.

At uvex

uvex exceeds the requirements of the REACH chemicals regulation through our own Restricted Substances List which is more exacting than REACH, and must also be adhered to by all of our suppliers. This means that the use of harmful substances in uvex products is generally prohibited. As a result, uvex ensures its products are safe for users and do not pose risks to their health or the environment.
