REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a European regulation to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemical substances. The substance evaluation is a specific process under REACH, carried out by Member States, to clarify whether the use of a substance poses a risk to human health or the environment. The Netherlands started a substance evaluation on tris(methylphenyl) phosphate (TCP) in 2014. This evaluation resulted in a formal request for information related to i.e. neurotoxicity and exposure assessment, which shall be provided by the manufacturers of TCP.
