  • Webinar - Midi de l'Artisanat: The fundamentals of the REACH and CLP regulations, with a particular focus on downstream users

    On the initiative of the REACH&CLP Helpdesk Luxembourg, the Chamber of Crafts with the Environmental Administration (AEV) and in collaboration with the Hair Beauty Tattoo Guild (section of tattooists) and Peinture Robin S.A. invites you to a webinar on the 17th October 2024 from 14 :00 to 16 :00, aimed at downstream users.

Have you ever heard of the REACH/CLP regulations?

The REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals - Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) and CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures - Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) regulations have been in force for over 15 years and impose certain obligations on companies that come into contact with chemicals (substances, mixtures and/or articles).

These regulations apply not only to manufacturers of chemical substances, but also to their importers and users. This is why craft companies, as downstream users, are particularly affected by these regulations.

In this webinar, the REACH&CLP Helpdesk will provide an overview of the two sets of legislation, with a particular focus on downstream users. In this context, the paint colour manufacturing and distribution sector and the tattoo industry will be cited as examples of the particular impact of REACH. We look forward to hearing from the industries concerned and from the Environment Administration.

In addition, restrictions on the marketing of cosmetic products containing intentionally added microplastics, which affect cosmetics manufacturers in particular, will be discussed.

Programme

The webinar will be held in French, with the option of asking questions in Luxembourgish.
