This web-portal presents a number of sources of information that may be of use to those preparing a Socio-economic Analysis (SEA) under the REACH Regulation. It is hosted by VITO for the European Chemical's Agency.

Search for data sources

When choosing the link ‘QUERY DATABASE’ in the left-hand side menu, you can perform a search on the basis of category, keywords, or full text. The information sources have been divided into three key categories:

  • Markets and alternatives: sources on the value of markets, structure of supply chains and the technical and socioeconomic characteristics of alternatives;
  • Human health impacts: sources to support the identification and valuation of costs and benefits to human health from a potential restriction;
  • Environmental impacts: sources to support the identification and valuation of costs and benefits to the environment from a potential restriction.

 The queries show (a) the name and description of each source; (b) the types of information that the user may find therein; (c) the coverage and applicability of each source (for example, a particular Member State); (d) the cost of obtaining the information held in this source; and (e) the limitations of each source, if any.
