Abo ut this presentation

The new hazard classes for persiste nt\, mobile and toxic (PMT) and very persistent\, very mobile (vPvM) substances are now in force under the EU CLP regulation\, and proposed as cri teria for identifying substances of very high concern (SVHC) as part of th e upcoming revision of EU REACH. They are also already included in various pieces of downstream legislation in the EU\, and under discussion at UN G HS level. Although a relatively new concept\, PMT/vPvM< /span> is therefore already highly relevant. But what are the implications of these new hazard classes for existing chemicals on the market\, and wh at is the experience of trying to implement them? In this presentation\, w e will explore these aspects and discuss what the implementation of the PM T/vPvM hazard classes is likely to look like in the years ahead. We will discuss the requirements for assessing substances and mixtures\, including some of the less well-known challenges related t o data availability\, testing and assessment.

We will also look at things from the regulator’s perspective\, including on further testing requests\, grouping\, and attempt to provide an outlook on the evolving policy situation. Attendees can expect to be br ought up to speed on the requirements for assessing their substances and m ixtures according to the new PMT/vPvM hazard cla sses\, and to gain valuable insights and understanding of the broader chal lenges and implications of these regulatory developments for their busines s.< /o:p>
