EU & USA CHEMICAL UPDATE FOR TOYS AND CHILDREN’S PRODUCTS

The California Hazardous Materials Business Plan regulations and compliance obligations can be complex and vary among regulating agencies. Utilizing Verisk 3E’s Regulatory Reporting Services team of actively involved, engaged and experienced regulatory professionals can be a highly efficient and effective way to alleviate the challenges associated with ensuring compliance with these complex and varying regulations.

This two-part webinar took place on 22 March and provided a regulatory and legal overview of the recently amended K-REACH and the newly adopted K-BPR. Each session demonstrated to what extent these two regulations will affect your industry and what you need to do to comply.

Petrochemical plants and refineries both process hydrocarbon derived materials. Refineries focus on fuels production. Refinery products include LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), gasoline (petrol), kerosene and jet fuel, diesel, fuel oils, and coke. Petrochemicals focus on creating intermediates used to produce industrial and consumer products. Major petrochemical processes include steam cracking to produce ethylene (ethane), propylene (propene), and butadiene and aromatics plants producing benzene, toluene, xylene and other aromatics.

From the ground to the engine of a vehicle, the quality control of petrochemicals is critical in every stage of the process. Water sensitivity of petrochemicals as well as their non-aqueous solubility requires special handling of the samples and specific sensors and solvents used in their analysis. This GTP Petrochemical Webinar offers knowledge and tips to assist you in optimizing your oil and fuel analysis; such as Karl Fischer water determination, TAN, TBN and mercaptans.
