Don’t miss out – secure your spot now for our free webinar on the potential CLP reclassification of ethanol!

The ongoing discussion about a potential reclassification of ethanol as a CMR substance under the CLP Regulation has attracted considerable attention – not only within the chemical and biocides sector but also across a wide range of downstream industries. The implications reach far into hygiene and medical care, homecare and cleaning, food production, biofuels, workplace safety and many other areas.

This free one‑hour webinar, organised in collaboration with the Brussels‑based law firm Fieldfisher, will provide a concise overview of the regulatory process, its current status and the potential consequences. It will outline what you should have on your radar if you supply products containing ethanol or work with such products further down the supply chain.

We welcome your questions – following the presentation, there will be time to discuss your points in a dedicated Q&A session.

Who should attend this webinar?

This webinar is designed for professionals across all sectors that manufacture, supply, formulate or use ethanol‑containing products. It will be particularly relevant for professionals working in Regulatory Affairs, Product Stewardship, Compliance, Safety/HSE, Toxicology, and R&D or Formulation Development.
