ECHA has published their latest weekly update (20 March).
Due to changes in the structure of ECHA’s updates, we can no longer provide a link to the updates themselves. To ensure BIVDA members continue to receive this information, we have opted to provide the full ECHA notification.
European authorities will work together to improve risk management of chemicals
Our two-day workshop, that took place on 6-7 March 2024, discussed how to make authorities’ risk management of substances, or substance groups, more impactful while increasing transparency and predictability.
The focus was on reviewing the implementation of our Integrated Regulatory Strategy and aligning it with ECHA’s new strategy and tasks.
