Chemical regulation compliance
How can we help?
CRC Consulting provides independent, evidence‑based support across UK and EU chemical regulation. With decades of experience working within and alongside regulatory authorities, we offer a realistic understanding of how regulators think and what defensible compliance looks like in practice.
❋ Chemical regulation
Clear, proportionate interpretation of UK and EU REACH, CLP, biocides, pesticides, POPs and related chemical safety frameworks.
❋ Occupational health & safety
Practical support across COSHH, DSEAR and chemical risk management, grounded in regulatory expectations.
❋ Major hazards
Independent insight on COMAH application, compliance and major hazard risk assessment and control.
❋ Incidents, enforcement and compliance
Support when issues arise, with practical insight into how regulators may respond and the steps to consider next.
Proportionate
Not every compliance issue is a crisis. The real task is to identify what matters, what is defensible and where effort has the best chance of changing the outcome.
Practical
Advice must fit the realities of manufacturing, supply chains, product stewardship, deadlines and internal decision-making.
Authoritative
We bring first-hand knowledge of how enforcement decisions are made, how evidence is assessed and how regulators think.
Clear
Complex regulation needs to be translated into language that boards, legal and commercial teams, technical specialists and operational teams can all act on.
Professional, direct and grounded in reality
Our approach is firmly rooted in compliance, guided by proportionality and pragmatism to ensure solutions are workable as well as robust.
We have experience of all sides of the system: regulatory authorities, industry, consultancy and academia. That breadth matters when clients need advice that is not only technically correct, but credible under scrutiny.
Regulators form views quickly. Bringing in experienced judgement early helps ensure the first response is credible, proportionate and aligned with how authorities assess evidence.
At the point where judgement matters.
When to get in touch?
A regulatory authority has asked difficult questions and the response needs to be right first time.
A regulatory change, such as the EU’s universal PFAS restriction, could affect products, customers, suppliers or market access.
Operational, legal and commercial teams need a shared view of what the regulation actually requires.
A manufacturing site needs compliance systems that work in practice, not just on paper.
Senior leaders need a plain-English view of risk, options, proportionality and defensible next steps.
