Online trade (e-commerce) is growing rapidly, accentuated by the current global health crisis. The sale of chemicals or articles containing chemicals classified as hazardous is also benefiting from this trend. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the authorities to control the compliance of online sales platforms with the relevant regulations.
It has become possible for everyone to trade or have access to chemicals that are not allowed to be sold to the general public. Restricted chemicals may be found in items sold online. These are examples of non-compliance with CLP / REACH regulations.
This webinar will highlight the different aspects to be taken into account when selling or buying chemicals online in order to comply with the European chemical regulations and thus ensure consumer and environmental protection.
The session will cover
ECHA’s Enforcement Forum (REF – 8)
Duty of online suppliers
Responsibility for different online platforms (Website, Web shop, Marketplace)
Requirement for restricted substances
Transfer of health-relevant information to the consumer
The session will benefit
Companies placing chemical products on the European market through websites and webshops
Operators of online websites and webshops where chemical products can be sold
Companies and individuals buying chemical mixtures on different online platforms
Global regulatory professionals from companies having activities in different EU and EEA Member States
Any regulatory professional working closely with the EU (CLP)
