The Biocides Stakeholders' Day

25 June 2013 | Helsinki
 

The European Chemicals Agency organised its first Biocides Stakeholders'Day on 25 June 2013 in Helsinki.

In preparation for the application date of the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) on 1 September 2013, the Stakeholders' Day engaged key biocides stakeholders with information about the new regulation. The aim of the event is to ensure that companies are aware of their roles and available tools and resources to assist them in meeting their obligations.

The day was open to all and the content was of particular relevance to European and national trade associations, SMEs, large companies, alternative suppliers and environmental as well as health NGOs.
