Biocides Stakeholders' Day
The European Chemicals Agency organised its second Biocides Stakeholders' Day on Wednesday 24 September 2014 in Helsinki.
The Stakeholders' Day provided key biocides stakeholders with information about the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) including the tools and support available for companies. The objective of the event was to ensure that companies are aware of their roles and obligations to assist them in meeting the relevant BPR requirements.
