REACH24H Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference- US Seminar

Day 1 (Thursday, May 30) - Chemical Environmental Health & Safety Management (Asia-Pacific Region Registration and EHS Session)

In order to reduce the risk of chemicals harming environmental or public health during their life cycle, chemical companies in various countries and regions around the world have established risk management systems to effectively supervise chemicals and promote innovation and green development in the industry. Technical trade measures constitute market access barriers which stand in the way of development of international trade and limit the free circulation and optimal allocation of world resources. To mark REACH24H’s Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference first event in the United States, the CRAC - US Seminar will focus on the latest developments in the Asia-Pacific Region including China, Taiwan of China, Korea, Japan, as well as introduce updated information on other countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand, etc.

In addition, the CRAC – US Seminar will also focus attention on the emphasis and increased enforcement the Chinese Government is placing on chemical EHS regulations, and how companies can prepare to avoid potential supply chain disruptions.

Day 2 Morning (Friday, May 31) – Transport of Dangerous Goods for China & US (TDG Session)

Since 2016, for the purpose of furthering the safe inland transport of dangerous goods, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) of China has organized extensive research and discussion, greatly focused on improving existing regulations. JT/T617-2018, Regulations Concerning the Road Transportation of Dangerous Goods, has prompted an immediate and strong reaction in the field of road transport of dangerous goods since it went into effect on December 1, 2018. This standard provides enterprises working on road transport of dangerous goods with significant technical instructions in terms of classification, packaging, consignment, loading and unloading procedures, transport handling of dangerous goods, etc.

In order to strengthen the level of exchange between China and U.S in this field, while at the same time providing a platform for professionals and management experts in the dangerous goods transport industry to exchange views, CRAC – US Seminar will invite officials, senior experts and company representatives from these countries and regions to share with us the latest experiences and policy trends through interesting business cases. We also will aim to focus on hot topics, such as the transportation of limited quantities & excepted quantities of dangerous goods, and the safe storage and transportation of lithium batteries.

CRAC – US Seminar

In 2009, the first Chemical Regulatory Annual Conference (CRAC) kicked off in Shanghai with the aims of promoting the development of the industry through compliance. This Conference proposed a new model for the industry, creating a multi-exchange platform where professionals could share in-depth analysis of regulatory and policy trends, experiences in compliance and discuss barriers as well as future possible ways forward for the industry.

Over the last ten years, CRAC has witnessed the rapid development of the chemical industry and its shift towards a greener approach. Global oversight levels have risen, pressure for environmental protection has increased, competition has intensified and new opportunities and limitations have multiplied, which has injected a new impetus into various industries to change and rise up to the challenge.

The first CRAC – US Seminar will follow the example set by previous sessions in Asia Pacific, offering a global platform to discuss regulations and technologies as well as future developments in the industry. CRAC - US Seminar will focus on industrial chemicals, bringing together government officials, technical experts and business representatives from all corners of the world to share the latest compliance information, and together build a greener industry.

Led by renowned business and topic experts, and fed by rich conversations among peers who

face similar challenges.
