With pre-registration now complete - 2.25
million substance pre-registrations have been made to the European
Chemicals Agency (ECHA) - the REACH (Registration, Evaluation,
Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) process is under way.
To review the pre-registration process and discuss what will happen
once the pre-registration process is complete, Hull University has
organised a one-day conference called ‘REACH – post
pre-registration. What now?’
The event, which will be held on Tuesday 13
January 2009, will bring together experienced REACH practitioners.
Dr Derek Knight, Senior Technical Adviser to ECHA, will be the
keynote speaker and will address the delegates on ‘ECHA and the
pre-registration process’.
The morning of the conference will consider
some the practical experiences to date of the pre-registration
process and will include a presentation from Bob Scott, LGC’s
Chemical Safety Consultant and REACH advisor, on ‘REACH and
consumer articles’, and there will be a perspective from the Health
& Safety Executive.
Among the afternoon’s presentations, there
will be two presentations on the mandatory substance information
exchange forum (SIEF).
The one-day event, which will be held on
Tuesday 13 January at the University of Hull, will run from 9.00 am
to 5.00 pm and will include lunch.
