Several key regulatory frameworks govern catalysis, including:
- REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals): A European Union regulation that addresses the production and use of chemical substances and their potential impacts on human health and the environment. - TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act): A United States law that regulates the introduction of new or already existing chemicals. - GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals): An internationally agreed-upon system, created by the United Nations, to standardize and harmonize the classification and labeling of chemicals.
