In the complex world of chemical compliance, navigating European Union (EU) regulations can feel overwhelming. Two of the most critical reporting obligations under the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) are Poison Centre Notification (PCN) and REACH registration.

Summer is here—bringing sunshine, cookouts, and the excitement of fireworks. Whether you're celebrating the Fourth of July, attending a local festival, or hosting a backyard gathering, fireworks are a cherished part of the season. While they add sparkle to any event, fireworks also pose significant safety risks if not handled properly.
