Navigate revisions to laws on hazardous chemicals in the EU

Changes to regulations and processes will introduce new restrictions on the use of hazardous chemicals in the EU. These could impact space programmes, the space sector and its supply chains – PFAS, chromates and the REACH revision take centre stage. Register for ESA’s free workshop on 17 June providing clarification on these changes and join us for a panel discussion.

Free one-day workshop at ESA

On Tuesday 17 June 2025, ESA will hold its 6th REACH Workshop at ESA ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, with an option to join online via Webex.

This interactive full-day event (9:00–17:30 CET) will explain and discuss the current state of play, challenges and risks associated with EU chemicals regulations. It will cover mainly REACH/CLP and other laws such as those addressing “substances of concern” with experts from European space agencies, regulators and industry including small- and medium-sized enterprises.

Furthermore, related requirements and evolutions in Switzerland and the UK will be highlighted, assessing the status of alignment and divergence with the EU.

ESA invites interested stakeholders from national space agencies including NASA and JAXA, industry, other sectors, NGOs and representatives from the European Commission, ECHA, the European Defence Agency (EDA), national agencies and ESA Member States.

Register now to take part in this event.
