Join this cross-sector training for an introduction to key concepts in toxicology, including toxicokinetics, toxicodynamics, and toxicological testing. You will also explore the principles of hazard and risk assessment, along with exposure evaluation and risk characterisation of chemicals in relation to human health.
Learning by doing: This training includes practical exercises and explains how food contact materials (FCM) are regulated in the EU and how to evaluate the safety of food packaging. It covers a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals of EU FCM legislation – notably providing guidance on establishing compliance with EU requirements – to the latest developments and "hot topics" in the EU market, e.g. mineral oil and BPA.
Specialise in evaluating the predicted environmental concentrations (PEC) of plant protection products in soil. Earn basic knowledge on how to assess PECsoil in the evaluation procedure in Europe. You will be familiarised with the philosophy of the PECsoil guidance documents of EFSA and the related software packages to perform individual PECsoil calculations.
This online training sheds light on recent regulatory topics and gives helpful compliance tips. It will enhance your understanding of the EU Fertilising Products Regulation (EU) 2019/1009. It will also focus on biostimulants, which now fall under this same regulation, and discuss borderline cases with plant protection products.
For many years now, this conference has been a major event for manufacturers of packaging materials and food producers and we always keep this conference up to date addressing the most relevant topics in food contact materials, including EU legislation, all important topics from analytics to safety assessment as well as hot topics, e.g. styrene, PFAS, BPX, mineral oil and genotoxicity.
Representatives from the industry, the authorities as well as from the medical and scientific fields are presenting the most pressing questions on food allergens at this conference: How to deal with consumer safety and clinical aspects, regulatory aspects and scientific matters, industry practice and analytical approaches.
This conference will address current and future developments in non-dietary exposure and operator safety assessment for plant protection products. Topics include the EFSA OPEX Guidance and Calculator, exposure modelling, bystander and resident safety, dermal absorption, worker re-entry, spray drift, and international perspectives.
