Post-Brexit, formulators selling into both the EU and UK cannot assume a single regulatory list. UK REACH started from EU REACH but diverges over time — registrations, dossiers, and timelines differ.
What formulators feel day to day
- Dual market screening: a candidate acceptable under EU REACH may still need UK checks (and vice versa).
- Supply chain paperwork: substance identity (CAS), tonnage bands, and SVHC status remain table stakes.
- Software implication: inverse design that ignores market constraints wastes chemist time.

Regulatory filters run before ranking. Market selection (e.g. UK vs EU) changes which candidates survive — not as a footnote after a pretty Pareto front.
