REACH24H and UMCO will host China REACH and GHS Compliance Seminar in Germany

Apr. 28th, 2015

Germany


Seminar Overview

China is now the second-largest market for German exports outside the EU and nearly half of all EU exports to China come from Germany. In recent years China’s chemical regulatory framework has undergone great changes. Meanwhile, since 11 Dec 2013, a new Chemical Substance Registration System had brought into the revised Taiwan TCSCA and came into force on 11 Dec 2014. This means the complexities of various chemical management regulations in China and Taiwan pose major regulatory and trade barriers for foreign companies.

To alleviate these issues UMCO and REACH24H will host ‘China REACH and GHS Compliance Seminar 2015’ on 28 April, 2015 in Duesseldorf, Germany. As China’s foremost regulatory compliance service provider, this seminar promises a chance to pick the brains of China’s preeminent regulatory experts, and take home the most up-to-date regulatory compliance information.

ABOUT THE SEMINAR

This one-day seminar combines an overview of chemical regulations in China and Taiwan, and will feature a multitude of practically useful China and Taiwan compliance advice. Participants will be provided with a detailed explanation of major chemical regulations, including China New Chemical Substance Notification, GHS in Asian countries, China Hazardous chemical registration, Taiwan New and Existing Chemical Substances Registration under revised TCSCA, Regulating Food Contact Materials in China etc.
