Sponsor workshop: Knowledge-share on keys to BPR product authorisation success
With constantly evolving guidance on data requirements and dossier information, navigating the Biocidal Products Regulation can be a challenge. The publication of new decisions on guidance can be slow; and when such information is published, it can be vague, lack clarity, and be time-consuming to find, making the product authorisation procedure a frustrating experience.
Join TSG Consulting for an interactive session where key specialists from our Biocides team will share insights to successful product authorisation, as well as provide advice on how to overcome hurdles.
