This conference delves into the ongoing debate surrounding the complex identification of endocrine disruptors and the implementation of EU regulatory requirements across chemicals legislation. Participants gain practical insights into the application of guidance documents, current testing methods, and the latest scientific and regulatory developments.
The identification of endocrine disruptors (EDs) is one of the most complex and fast‑evolving challenges in EU chemicals regulation. Originally driven by the Biocidal Products Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and the Plant Protection Products Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, endocrine disruptor assessment has gained further momentum with the introduction of new ED hazard classes under the CLP Regulation. These changes have far‑reaching implications for chemicals regulated under REACH and increasingly affect downstream sectors such as cosmetics, packaging materials, and consumer products.
Featuring high‑level presentations from experts representing authorities, industry, research organisations, and academia, this conference brings together all relevant stakeholders to share the latest regulatory developments, scientific advances and practical implementation challenges related to endocrine disruptors.
Join the discussion, exchange expertise, and ensure your organisation stays ahead of evolving EU endocrine disruptor requirements
The Conference will be taking place in Cologne/Germany on 12 and 13 November 2026. You can also follow all the exciting contributions via our live stream! Please find all information on the virtual participation here.
