This Information Paper provides information to product manufacturers and product specifiers on the relationship between LCA and REACH, using the BRE Global Environmental Profiles Methodology as an example of LCA. Both approaches are intended to evaluate the impacts of chemicals on people and the environment, but they perform different roles; REACH and LCA are not interchangeable but should be seen as complementary processes. After reading this Information Paper, readers will have a better understanding of the requirements of REACH and LCA and how these approaches relate to each other.
