Highlights from the 2020 conference
Our Biocides Europe 2020 virtual conference, which took place on 1–2 December, provided delegates with the latest developments on biocidal regulations in Europe and further afield.
Using a mix of presentations, panel discussions and Q&A sessions, the conference welcomed experts from European Commission, Echa, Ecolab, ARCHE Consulting, Enviresearch and more, who discussed the following topics:
- the assessment of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) under the BPR;
- the product authorisation and active substance renewals processes;
- how to optimise the registration process for applicants and authorities;
- efficacy updates and recent developments in testing and modelling;
- sustainable use, innovation and scope issues under the BPR;
- emerging/horizontal issues for biocides;
- how the biocides sector is navigating the Covid-19 crisis; and
- the impact of both Brexit and the EU’s recently announced EU chemicals strategy for sustainability.
