SAN JOSE, Calif., May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- SEMI today announced details for its European Union Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) Webcast. Targeted at SEMI members, equipment and materials manufacturers, and companies that import products into Europe, the Webcast is designed to help affected companies better understand if and how REACH will impact their businesses, as well as what the first steps will be.

The EU REACH regulation is the most ambitious chemical policy change in history-creating new responsibility up and down the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain-from substrates to equipment to devices. In addition, REACH is expected to have global impact on the environment and influence the way that other jurisdictions regulate chemicals in the future.
