Guides are additionally subject to formal approval by Eurachem members. Information leaflets are usually approved by the Executive  following approval by the members of the relevant working group.

All Eurachem Publications are currently available free of charge from the Eurachem Website. Many are additionally available in hard copy, either from the Secretariat or from other publishers.

Eurachem Members are free to translate publications into their own language, so many are available in several languages.
