EU chemicals regulations continue to apply in Northern Ireland under the terms of the Windsor Framework. These measures will introduce a more efficient regulatory process and enable more timely decision-making to facilitate faster alignment with decisions made in the EU. The Government are confident that these changes will not have a significant impact on trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland within the UK internal market. The potential impact of GB decision-making on the supply of chemicals to Northern Ireland will continue to be a key consideration for the HSE and will be evidenced in its recommendations for ministerial decision. As part of the normal-track evaluation, the HSE will also consider the impact of GB decision-making on the supply of chemicals to Northern Ireland in its agency opinion.
