The time until today was used to establish the ECHA.
The Commission and the ECHA reviewed various annexes of the Regulation and implemented legislation for, e.g., agency fees, etc.
Guidance documents for the industry, which are based on the work in REACH Implementation Projects (RIP), were published on the ECHA website.
The EU member states brought into force necessary laws, regulations and administrative provisions to comply with the REACH Directive.
