Organized by the REACH & CLP Luxembourg Helpdesk, a service of the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, with the support of the Fedil-Business Federation Luxembourg, Enterprise Europe Network, the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Economy. The conference will take place on as part of the framework for the European SME week on Thursday 8th of December 2016 from 12.30 pm to 5 pm at the Chamber of Commerce at 7, Rue Alcide de Gasperi at Luxembourg-Kirchberg.

After a networking lunch promoting exchanges between participants, industrialists, members of the REACH & CLP Luxembourg Helpdesk and speakers at the conference, a plenary session in French and English will address many topics such as:

• The key points of the REACH & CLP regulations in relation to the current and future corporate obligations;
• Regulatory actions under the REACH & CLP regulations with feedback from the Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)
• The REACH registration deadline of 2018, which requires that all substances manufactured or imported between 1 and 100 tonnes / year are registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). This deadline concerns a larger number of companies, in particular SME’s, whether they manufacture or import substances within the European Union.
