Current Opportunities and Challenges with Chemical Substance Regulation in Mexico and Central and South America

Webinar, Hosted By Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.


Thursday, November 17, 2016 - 7:00 AM


The Mexican and Central and South American chemical regulatory environment is challenging to understand, with relatively little consistency, even among neighboring countries.  The region is home to two major trading blocs, MERCOSUR (Mercado Común Del Sur) and the Andean Community of Nations (Comunidad Andina). Similar in basic concept to the European Union, these blocs impose overarching regulation and legislation on the individual member countries that often do not exist locally.

We are pleased to offer its clients and friends a complimentary webinar to provide information and insight to help you achieve commercial success in this rapidly expanding region, including an overview of regulatory opportunities and challenges resulting from regional growing pains, plus a detailed explanation of recent regulatory actions, including:

  • Brazilian Industrial Chemicals Regulation (Regulação de Substâncias Químicas Industriais);

  • Key Brazilian regulations pertaining to food contact materials (Resolução - RDC nº 88, 89, and 90);

  • Recently released Argentinian Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) regulation (SRT No. 3359/2015); and

  • Mexican Safety Data Sheet (SDS) standard (NOM-018-STPS-2015), scheduled for full implementation in October 2018.
