How does Exponent's expertise and footprint provide unique global support for REACH?

Exponent's REACH team comprises regulatory affairs professionals, project managers, risk assessors, socioeconomic analysts, and technical specialists in all relevant scientific disciplines directly relevant to REACH. Our consultants have been following REACH since its inception and were involved in the consultation process that helped to shape the legislation in its final form. Several members of our multidisciplinary team have also contributed to the scientific and regulatory content in the official guidance documents. Our scientists have varying backgrounds in industry, government and contract research giving us unparalleled expertise in solving complex regulatory problems.
