 Chemicals Management Day delivers sharp, practical insights on the fast‑shifting rules for electronics and batteries. Get up to speed on RoHS, REACH, the EU Batteries Regulation, and emerging PFAS/POPs controls—with focused sessions designed to help electronics companies stay compliant and ahead of change. 

About the event

Electronics and batteries have received increased regulatory attention in recent years as the EU maps a path to safer, sustainable chemical management within these sectors. For companies that manufacture, assemble, distribute or sell electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) or battery-containing products, as well as their supply chains, it is vitally important to stay up-to-date with proposed and enacted regulatory requirements. This includes relevant exemptions, substance updates, and documentation requirements for legislation including RoHS, REACH, the EU Batteries Regulation, and controls on PFAS and POPs. 

Key topics for 2026:

  • RoHS updates & lead exemptions: EU plans for Pack 22 renewals, EN IEC 63000 changes, and move toward mandatory testing and common specifications.
  • Emerging EU regulations: Updates on POPs legislation, wider EEE obligations, and using compliance as a strategic advantage.
  • PFAS & chemical substitution: Challenges, phase-out strategies, and socio-economic impacts of restricting critical substances in electronics.
  • Circularity & digital transformation: Implementation of ESPR, Digital Product Passports, EU batteries passport, and managing chemicals in end-of-life electronics.
