Biocidal Products Directive: What US Companies Need to Know

Steptoe & Johnson LLP invites you to join speakers from the European Commission and industry insiders at the first major US conference on the Biocidal Products Directive. Listen as these authorities share insights on the BPD and how it relates to your company's business interests in Europe.

European authorities are now implementing the Biocidal Products Directive (BPD), requiring extensive effort by the regulated community. Manufacturers of active ingredients ("active substances" in European terminology) for several "product types" have already been required to submit complete dossiers, with all others in line for submission over the next few years. In order to maintain a place in the European market, biocidal active and formulated product suppliers across the globe must understand and comply with this highly complex and data-intensive legislation.

We invite you to join us as industry insiders and speakers from the European Commission share their experiences and insights on the BPD. This information can provide assistance to your company in optimizing study choices to perform and understanding new risk assessment techniques developed under the BPD that may be applied throughout the world. The program will also address the approach to exposure information the EU is taking and the current situation regarding data protection and compensation within the EU.
