The latest updates in European biocidal regulations direct from the experts
It is now more than six years since the BPR came into force, however, the European legal framework for biocides is still proving challenging and dynamic with new issues flaring up as others are resolved.
Current hot topics, such as the emergency measures around Covid-19 for disinfectants and and criteria for identifying endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), provide new impetus for debate and guidance.
The annual Symposium, which is now in its 11th year, brings together leading figures from industry, different member states, competent authorities and regulatory authorities, including the European Commission, the European Chemicals Agency (Echa) and the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa).
Through virtual presentations and Q&As, this line-up of experts will provide overviews of the most recent developments from relevant stakeholders on the Covid-19 related BPR impacts for industry and authorities, the assessment of endocrine disrupting chemicals under the BPR, and discuss product authorisation and active substance renewal processes.
Furthermore, the Symposium offers the opportunity to hear about sustainable use and innovation in the sector, insights into biocides topics overlapping with other legislations, and provide the latest updates on testing and modelling.
Join this virtual event for three days of presentations, discussion panels and Q&A sessions. If you're unable to clear your diary for the whole event or wish to rewatch the presentations, you will receive the full video recordings shortly after the event. More on virtual events here.
