Sustainability is increasingly shaping the EU legislative framework for biocides. This training highlights key policy drivers, regulatory developments, and emerging compliance challenges. Gain practical insights to navigate approvals, product obligations, and sustainability driven change.
Sustainability considerations are rapidly reshaping the regulatory environment for biocidal substances and products in the EU, and keeping pace with these developments is now a key requirement for regulatory and compliance professionals.
This training offers a clear overview to the key policy initiatives driving this change, including the European Green Deal, the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, and the Clean Industrial Deal. It also highlights the growing overlap between regulatory regimes and explains emerging concepts such as One Substance One Assessment, essential use, and hazard based assessment.
In addition, the training addresses the impact of horizontal sustainability legislation on product obligations, including packaging and waste requirements, microplastics restrictions, green claims scrutiny, and the increasing importance of dual use and borderline product considerations, with a clear focus on practical compliance and authorisation implications.
