REACH
Protecting People and the Environment
ArcelorMittal supports the European Regulation of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)1, which entered into force on 1 June 2007.
Companies from the ArcelorMittal Group, like all European companies manufacturing, importing or using chemical substances covered by REACH, are concerned by this new European Regulation and will make every effort to comply with it, without compromising their commercial relationships with customers.
ArcelorMittal is actively engaged in the REACH process and ensures that the manufactured or imported substances on their own or in preparations are pre-registered and will give notification of any substances of very high concern (SVHC) in articles, according to REACH requirements.
