Workshop Series: Gaining Global Market Access for Chemicals & Detergents

Join our workshop series to explore the intricate world of chemical and detergent regulations across key global regions. In the first session, we delve into chemicals and detergents regulation (i.e., Detergents Regulation (EC) No 648/2004), covering core requirements, Safety Data Sheets, and classification principles. Gain insights on enforcement outcomes and the REACH-EN-FORCE (REF)-13 initiative, with a focus on online compliance. The first session also spends time on Turkey's regulations, including KKDIK and SEA obligations. Moving to the Americas in the second session, we explore Canada's regulations, U.S. federal and state compliance, and Latin American standards like GHS implementation. Concluding with a deep dive into Asia Pacific and the Middle East, we examine raw materials, label requirements, and quality specifications, along with insights into Australia's assessment process under the Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme. Designed for professionals aiming for successful market entry, this series equips you with the knowledge to navigate diverse regulatory environments effectively.

This is a 3-part workshop series.  You can register for the series or individual sessions below.
