The Acta Group (Acta®) is pleased to present “An Update on the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability,” a complimentary webinar that will review and update how the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability is fundamentally reshaping the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and the Classification, Labeling, and Packaging (CLP) regulations in ways that are resetting the global stage for the regulation of chemicals.

Vergnes, Ph.D., DABT®, Vice President, Scientific Affairs and Director of Toxicology, Acta; Tiina Lantto, Ph.D., Regulatory Consultant/Toxicologist, Acta; and Lynn L. Bergeson, President, Acta, will discuss the technical, regulatory science, political, and strategic implications of the introduction of new hazard classes under CLP, application of the generic approach to risk assessment and development of the essential use concept, in terms of identifying new hazard classes and New Approach Methodologies (NAM) for identifying them. Registration is open now.
