About event
Taking place on 16 June 2026 in Birmingham, UK and virtually, this one-day conference brings together regulators, industry leaders and compliance experts to explore the key developments shaping UK chemicals regulation.
With major changes to UK REACH on the horizon, including the proposed Alternative Transitional Registration model (ATRm), alongside evolving frameworks for Classification, Labelling and Packaging (GB CLP) and the Biocidal Products Regulation (GB BPR), the regulatory landscape is becoming increasingly complex.
At the same time, growing divergence from the EU and increasing regulatory action on substances such as PFAS, POPs and Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) are creating new compliance challenges and business risks.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of compliance expectations, downstream user obligations and supply chain impacts, alongside strategies to navigate disruption, prepare for future requirements and explore approaches to transitioning towards safer alternatives.
Hear from expert speakers across the chemicals value chain as they share practical guidance and forward-looking strategies to help you stay compliant and prepared for what comes next.
