HSE has written to all its stakeholders to announce an organisational change to its delivery of approvals schemes for pesticides and biocides, Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals (REACH), detergents and other supply legislation (e.g. Classification, Labelling and Packaging). A new directorate, the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD), will be created on 1st April 2009.
