Key areas of regulatory challenge

ECHA's role as independent agency in implementing various EU legislations has generated a 15 years' wealth of scientific and technical insights and competences. With the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS), a renewed policy focus has emerged that invited ECHA to revise and sharpen its advisory role on those topics where it can provide most valuable input. As a result, ECHA has started to map its key areas of regulatory challenge (KARC) under the umbrella of the PARC Project that provides a forum for collaboration across Europe and aims to pioneer those scientific areas addressing most urgent regulatory challenges.
