Chemical regulations are evolving at an unprecedented pace. Consider California Proposition 65: since its introduction in 1987, the number of listed chemicals has increased more than thirtyfold. A similar trend can be seen with REACH SVHC, where the number of substances of very high concern has grown significantly since its introduction in 2007.
There is little indication that this rate of regulatory expansion will slow in the coming years. As the number of regulated chemicals and other substances of concern continues to grow, brands, retailers, and manufacturers face an increasingly complex challenge: how to maintain compliance, manage risk, and protect consumers while operating within testing budgets that are already under pressure.
To remain ahead of evolving requirements and increasing regulatory scrutiny, organisations need smarter, more risk-based approaches to chemical compliance that enable them to identify potential issues earlier, prioritise testing resources effectively, and respond proactively to emerging risks.
Whether you are responsible for product compliance, quality assurance, sourcing, sustainability, or risk management, this session will provide practical insights to help you navigate an increasingly complex chemical regulatory environment with confidence.
