Abstract
There are many implications of REACH, both practical and theoretical. Adoption of REACH in the EU influenced international trade with chemicals and introduced new normative rules and principles on the international level. Thus REACH has normative implications for other countries, especially countries trading with the EU and practical rules for companies within non-EU member states. This normative dimension may be considered a supporting factor of adoption REACH-like regulation in the country trading with the EU. Is there a direct link between the chemical export and reflection of REACH? How can we measure the impact of REACH? In the next section practical implications of REACH are presented and evaluated. In the Sect. 10.2 theoretical implication are considered.

We can not talk about compliance with REACH as REACH is fully legally binding only in European Economic Area but rather about partial adaptation to REACH requirements for non-EU importers.
