Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference 2016
September 20-21 | Shanghai
Simultaneous Interpretation in English, Chinese, Japanese

In recent years, China has witnessed far too many accidents as a result of negligence in chemical management and environmental protection. The frequent occurrence of such accidents aroused widespread public concerns over risk of toxic exposure and resulted in stricter enforcement of chemical regulations both in China and abroad. Accordingly chemical companies doing business globally face increasingly challenging technical barriers to trade, having no better choice but to fully comply with various regulations in order to secure a competitive edge in the global market. However, chemical regulatory requirements in major countries and regions of the world are not necessarily all the same, causing much confusion among companies seeking for market entry.

Come to CRAC 2016 and find all the answers there. At CRAC 2016, practical issues facing industry will be discussed and presented to policymakers, NGO’s and leading industrial players alike, where genuine constructive dialogues will convert into take-home information to help attendees come to terms with the most important developments in the Sino-global regulatory environment.

CRAC 2016 will focus on both the similarities and differences of chemical regulations in various countries and regions, bringing in-depth analysis of each and every topic, well positioned to bridge gaps between government officials and business experts and facilitate profound exchanges.

Conference Highlights
1. EU REACH-Still the Largest Technical Trade Barrier to EU
Companies exporting low tonnage chemicals to EU have been on a honeymoon for REACH registration since its implementation. As the last deadline of May 31, 2018 comes close, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has taken several steps to facilitate joint registration, calling for early preparation. With much experiences gained, ECHA is likely to step up inspection for the upcoming 2018. To help companies tide over the last deadline safe and sound, CRAC 2016 will invite ECHA officials to talk about ways for joint registration before 2018, priorities on the compliance checklist of ECHA as well as possible implications of official moves on trade to EU.
2. Hazardous Chemicals-What we’ve been doing shapes what we’ll encounter
In recent years, deadly accidents caused by hazardous chemicals occurred here and there, driving China to improve its legislative system for safety management of hazardous chemicals. To help companies get a clear picture of hot-spot issues and latest updates in this regard, CRAC 2016 will invite officials and experts from the State Administration of Work Safety, Ministry of Environmental Protection, Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau as well as National Registration Center for Chemicals to talk about the current status of hazardous chemicals management in China, latest progress in revision of the Measures for the Environmental Management Registration of Hazardous Chemicals( MEP Order22), new policies for chemical import and export supervision as well as key points for hazardous chemicals registration, classification and identification.
3. Transport of Dangerous Goods- Chinese Policies to be Interpreted and European & American Experiences to be Shared
Admittedly, China has formed its own legislative system for transport of dangerous goods. However, there is still much room for improvement, as is manifested in the frequent occurrence of transport accidents as well as mounting difficulties in the full implementation of various national standards. Daunting challenges still exist in terms of improving the regulatory system and emergency rescue capability. Given all this, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) of China has taken several moves to propel the safety management of dangerous goods transport. For example, the MOT issued this year newly drafted measures to specify the exemptions for transporting dangerous goods packed in small quantities, i.e. limited quantities (LQ) and excepted quantities (EQ) and authorized exemptions for road transport of carbon dioxide gas cylinders. In comparison, the management of dangerous goods transport in EU & U.S. are more systemized. There is a lot to learn from their experiences in safe storage and transport of dangerous goods. CRAC 2016 will invite experts from UMCO and U.S. association to address your concerns and share their experiences, to help you make fewer detours.
4. REACH-Like-Getting to Know Regulations in China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Thailand
The pacesetting EU REACH has been hailed by many as of high technical and environmental standards since its implementation. To address problems in chemical management and boost international competitiveness of the chemical industry, many countries and regions including China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Thailand have been busily establishing or strengthening their own programs for the regulation of chemicals, with the issuance of or amendment to REACH-like regulations. CRAC 2016 will invite government officials and industry experts from the above mentioned countries and regions to talk about the latest regulatory developments, propose compliance strategies and share their experiences to help companies better navigate the regulatory maze there.
5. U.S. TSCA-Perspectives from its Past, Present and Prospect
TSCA, short for Toxic Substances Control Act, has been a prominent program for chemical substance management in the United States since its enactment in 1976. Almost forty years have passed since its implementation, yet little amendment has been made with the advance of the times. However, problems do exist, triggering a huge public outcry for TSCA modernization. Finally on June 22, 2016, TSCA stepped into the 21st century with the Lautenberg Act signed by President Obama, an overhaul regulation on thousands of chemicals. CRAC 2016 will invite a senior TSCA expert to provide in-depth analysis of the background, development and future trends of TSCA to help companies better navigate the regulatory maze in the U.S.
