Summary/Abstract: The subject of the analysis in this article is the legal status of the President of the Bureau for Chemical Substances. The President acts as the central government administration body responsible for chemical substances and their mixtures. Its functioning is justified by the threats to human life and health as well as the natural environment, which are associated with the production and trade of chemical substances. The article discusses, on the basis of relevant legal acts, the tasks of the President of the Bureau for Chemical Substances. In the author’s opinion, cooperation with international institutions, especially the European Commission and the European Chemicals Agency, is essential for the proper performance of the tasks by the President of the Bureau for Chemical Substances. Thanks to it, it is possible to take uniform actions to ensure chemical security within the European Union.
