Focusing on regulatory updates that occurred over the past one year, our seminars were to introduce those big revisions which could very likely generate new problems for companies. With the literal outputs in place, the relevant authorities also highlight their importance in enforcement activities. The most obvious impact has been that a number of products suspected of incompliant were detained during custom clearance, which caused inestimable financial losses for the companies affected. Another focus of the seminar is our experts’ detailed interpretations to various issues emerging during the compliance process, such as SDS, label and risk assessment. The comparison between EU and China regulation was also talked in particular in order to help all members working for EU-based companies to establish concrete notions over definitions, requirements and standards in a global perspective.

This has been REACH24H’s fourth year to organize seminars in Europe. Despite the tightened chemical regulations in China, REACH24H has assisted over 2000 companies to deal with regulatory obligations during this critical period. As the government continues to upgrade regulatory supervisions and inspection mechanism, our experts would strongly suggest all companies involved in the chemical trade in China to take preventive actions, such as keeping updated of new regulatory publication, or studying the compliance strategy to face the challenges, etc.
