Comply with UK REACH is the new IT system that will underpin the independent chemicals regime UK REACH. The cost of establishing this system and preparing it to facilitate the needs of UK REACH on Day 1 of our exit from the EU has been to date £14.32 million.

Annual running costs of Comply with UK REACH for the next five years will depend on the pace and extent of future development and the future relationship negotiated between the UK and EU.
