iSmithers and Smithers Rapra are bringing the next in their successful series of REACH conferences to Chicago in April 2010.
As the 30th November 2010 Registration deadline fast approaches and TSCA reform gains momentum, pressure is mounting on American businesses to focus on key priorities to fulfil their obligations under REACH. With many experts stating that lead registration dossiers should be submitted to ECHA by June 2010 - six months before the official deadline - it seems that time really is of the essence.
In recent months concerns over the implementation of the new harmonized system for the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) have been growing. The impact of CLP on REACH could be vast with more substances expected to be classified as hazardous, and disagreements on data, classification and labeling and opt-outs from SIEFs becoming a real possibility.
Papers are invited across the following subjects:
- Updates on US plans for TSCA reform
- Industry strategies for SVHC compliance
- The impact of CLP (classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures) on REACH
- Practical papers on testing requirements
- Legal obligations of SIEFs
- Only Representative schemes in practice
- Consortia management/ obligations
- Developing exposure assessments
- Implications of 'no data, no market': How is data-sharing managed/enforced?
- Interaction with other legislation
- Future Chemicals Policy
- REACH and polymers
- Case studies from downstream users, distributors and manufacturers in chemical supply chain communication
- REACH in the economic recession
- Chemicals management strategies
