*** Professional Development members - contact your Account Manager to attend this event in person, using one of your included passes ***
The 15th annual edition of the Biocides Symposium will bring together senior representatives of European institutions, member state competent authorities and industry, as they give their perspectives on emerging issues and hot topics, as well as the current state of biocide regulations across the EU.
Taking place in vibrant Amsterdam, bring yourself up to date with the complex and ever evolving regulatory biocides landscape in just two days. We will explore long-running issues, such as impacts of the extension of the review programme, derogations and sustainability considerations, as well as new developments such as green claims and collateral damage of classification and labelling obligations under the BPR. Due to popular demand, we are excited to bring back the best practices session with expert tips, tricks and real-life examples that help you stay compliant.
Featuring in-depth discussions and practical insights, the engaging agenda allows you to ask questions, discuss topics, raise issues, seek solutions and share experiences with your peers and our expert speakers.
