REACH legislation entered into force on 1 June 2007 bringing with it a number of changes which have a profound impact on plastics processors. The process for compliance is complex and the scope is broad but help is available.
Coinciding one month after the start of the pre-registration stage on 1 June 2008, this seminar will provide a crucial update for all suppliers to the industry and plastics processors.
Key questions, which will be addressed in this seminar:
- Do you know what you have to do to ensure that your business complies with REACH?
- Do you realise the implications REACH will have on your customers and what your customers will expect from you?
- How do you develop a successful strategy to deal with REACH?
This BPF seminar is aimed specifically at plastics processors but will be of interest to suppliers to the industry.
It will provide practical, comprehensive advice on how your business can ensure compliance under REACH. |
