The European Commission's newly proposed REACH Revision has stirred significant discussion across the chemicals industry. Introduced during CARACAL-54, the proposal seeks to strengthen safety measures, increase transparency, and modernize how chemical data is shared across the supply chain. However, with changes such as proposed time-limited registrations, stricter update obligations, and alignment with updated hazard classes and classification obligations under CLP, many in the industry are raising concerns about feasibility, proportionality, and overall burden.

To address these questions, we are convening a virtual roundtable featuring diverse expert voices – from toxicology, legal policy, and industry representation. The session is designed to unpack what the REACH Revision really means for companies operating under EU chemical legislation.

Whether you're part of a regulatory affairs team, a compliance officer, or a business decision-maker navigating EU chemicals policy, this discussion will provide context, critical perspectives, and space for interactive Q&A with experts.
