General Manager of REACH24H USA, Robert Kiefer Speaking at GlobalChem 2023

GlobalChem is a leading conference that brings together key stakeholders, including industry professionals, government regulators, and environmental advocates, to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in chemical regulation and environmental protection.

REACH24H has been participating in GlobalChem since around 2012, and this year the company presented at the “Global Update: China\’s Chemical Strategy” Plenary Session on April 5.

Focusing on China’s MEE Order No.12

The Measures for the Environmental Management Registration of New Chemical Substances (MEE Order No.12 or \”China REACH\”) require companies to provide vital information about their products to the government to evaluate environmental and human health risks. Furthermore, last year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in China announced plans to intensify environmental supervision and spot checks, enforce regulations, and impose more severe penalties for non-compliant enterprises.

These measures demonstrate the Chinese government\’s commitment to upholding environmental protection standards and ensuring compliance with regulations. In light of this, REACH24H recognizes the significance of providing global companies with the necessary guidance and support to navigate the Chinese regulatory landscape.

At the conference, REACH24H\’s General Manager, Robert Kiefer, presented lessons learned from MEE Order No. 12,  and other regulatory compliance topics. During his presentation, he covered several trending topics, including Polymer Record Registration, Simplified Registration for Accumulative Environmental Risk & CBI Application, Post-Registration Obligations, Supervision & Enforcement, and New Pollutants Treatment Action Plan. Donna Newhouse from Huntsman and Zhuqing Yang from Dow China also participated in the panel discussion.

The presentation by REACH24H was well-received by the attendees, who appreciated the company\’s expertise in global regulatory compliance and its insights into China\’s chemical strategy.
