Regulatory change doesn’t always arrive with a bang. Sometimes, it’s the quieter changes – a revised deadline, a subtle amendment, a shift in enforcement focus – that end up having the biggest impact on chemical businesses operating across the UK and EU.

At ChemUK 2026, John Miller, Senior Regulatory Consultant & Specialist in REACH Management at Blue Frog Scientific, will highlight five seemingly-small regulatory developments that many companies may not yet be paying enough attention to… but probably should be.

Topics Include:

• Are existing UK REACH DUIN strategies still fit for purpose following the revised HSE deadlines?
• How could new MOCS classification rules under the updated CLP Regulation affect classifications, SDSs and labelling?
• What does mandatory SME verification mean for future REACH submissions?
• Why is ECHA increasing scrutiny around dossier updates and harmonised classifications?
• Are companies prepared for upcoming microplastics restriction reporting deadlines?

Individually, these may appear to be relatively small regulatory developments. Collectively, they could have major implications for compliance strategy, supply chains, product stewardship, and commercial planning.

If you work in regulatory affairs, compliance, product safety, or chemical supply chains, this is a session worth adding to your ChemUK agenda!

Hope to see you there!
