Background


With the advance of global industrialization, chemical safety management now is attracting attention from a growing number of countries. Many Asia-Pacific regions have been developing their REACH-like regulations to manage industrial chemicals. Some of the regulations are relatively mature and the legislations are being optimized continuously, whilst some are still at the early stage to set up their chemical management system. This webinar aims to share the current situation and recent updates of chemical regulations specifically in Thailand, Philippines, Australia, and Japan, and to provide suggestions on the pre-market and post-market obligations for enterprises.

How will China regulate animal testing?

The mandatory animal testing requirement is a major hurdle to imported enterprises entering the Chinese market. The released draft Administrative Measures for Filing of Non-special Use Cosmetics 2019 indicates that the mandatory animal testing for some imported general cosmetics can be probably replaced by safety assessments.

After the release of CSAR, how will China regulate animal testing? Is it possible to end cosmetic animal testing in China? If animal testing could be exempted, what would the impacts be? Our expert guests will share their unique insights and future predictions during the interview.

With more favorable policies on new ingredients, what can enterprises do to prepare in advance?

One of the highlights of CSAR is the innovation of a new cosmetic ingredient regulatory mechanism. New high-risk ingredients are required to be registered with NMPA and obtain approval, while low-risk ingredients will be subject to notification management. Registrants and notifiers need to report the new ingredients’ use and safety data to the NMPA annually for a period of three years.

How will these changes affect foreign enterprises exporting cosmetics/ingredients to China? In order to benefit from these favorable policy changes what preparations can enterprises make? These are some questions in which enterprises urgently need answers to help them make vital business decisions. Let’s see what our guests have to say in these matters.
