RECENT WEBINARS: EU REACH – WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING NOW
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restrictions of Chemicals) is a major reform of EU chemicals policy, affecting all global supply chains that produce and use chemicals. It is particularly important for small- and medium-sized companies to know about requirements under REACH and how to comply with this regulation, in force in all EU Member States since June 2007.
On Tuesday, November 15, 2011 and Thursday, November 17, 2011 we held a two-part webinar led by government and industry experts, covering major aspects of EU REACH Legislation and Compliance.
