ChemCon Europe 2016 is an international conference on chemical control legislation and trade aspects. Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. and the Acta Group were exhibitors.

A program for U.S. businesses. This two-day event brought together experts in global chemicals regulation from around the world. Through presentations, round table discussions and Q&As, delegates heard about the latest regulatory challenges facing the safe management of chemicals and learned how best to respond. Lynn L. Bergeson spoke. chairs the U.S. Developments session and presented “TSCA Reform and its implication for downstream users” on December 10th.

Learn about key areas of alignment and non-alignment between the European Union's and the United States' approach to chemical management by exploring the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Panelists also discussed how pending TSCA reform legislation amended the TSCA to be more or less similar to REACH. Lynn L. Bergeson moderated. A podcast preview of the webinar is available online.
