AB  - In June 2007, the so-called REACH regulation (short for Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) came into effect in the European Community. Against the background of REACH, this article investigates who is directly addressed by this regulation (i.e. by means of the legal text) and which social groups are only indirectly affected. The socio-economic analysis (SEA), conducted as an obligatory step prior to substance authorization, demonstrates a general dilemma of chemical regulation: Chemicals and secondary products are inputs to a variety of goods and processes which, on the one hand,make daily life more comfortable, but on the other hand may have a negative impact on human health and the environment. The essence of this train of thought is that in order to make a regulation effective, the various segments of society must be considered in the process of regulation, inasmuch as these groups may either be affected by chemical safety ormay have safety management obligations of their own.
