Series of ASEAN Regulatory Co-operation Project (ARCP) Mini Webinars 2023 - Knowledge Building on Chemical Management

To support the promoting of enhanced regulatory cooperation and convergence practices in chemical management across the ASEAN Member States, the ARCP will once again organize a series of mini webinars in 2023. These webinars aimed to contribute to the gradual development of chemical management knowledge within the ASEAN community.

The first mini webinar for 2023 was held on 23 May, which was well attended by more than 100 delegates from the ASEAN members states (AMS). The programme of the mini-webinar was focused on sharing of the practical experience on China’s new chemical control scheme and the recent regulatory developments.


Dr Jeff Li of Procter & Gamble, who is also a workgroup member of SCIC Emerging Regulation and ARCP New Substance Notification (NSN), shared an overview of new chemical control scheme in China with comparison to the ARCP guidance document on NSN  which is currently in development stage. The recent development and future trend for overall China chemical management regulation was also shared which provided an insightful information to the delegates of the AMS.

The ARCP mini-webinars, which were launched in 2021, have garnered significant positive feedback from participating delegates. With the continued support and collaboration of industry stakeholders and regulators in the AMS, the ARCP will remain a key driver in the chemical industry's pursuit of achieving regulatory cooperation and convergence in the ASEAN region.

More sessions of the ARCP mini-webinars have been lined up in second half of 2023 including topic on SACIM’s progress (Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management) which provides a global overarching policy framework to foster the sound management of chemicals.
