[Webinar] India Market Outlook 2022: Opportunities and Regulatory Compliance Strategy (Day 1)

Although the global market has been greatly affected by the risk of supply chain constraints and COVID-19, there has been a significant recovery. Especially, the future for the chemical industry and other related ones is bright. In this situation, companies have started to look for new market opportunities in the global market, in which India’s economy is performing brightly. Under the growth of petroleum products, chemicals, and other industries, India’s imports in April 2022 increased by 30.97% year-on-year, becoming one of the popular markets currently being chased globally.

In order to help global enterprises to seize the Indian market share and break the trade barriers, REACH24H will launch a series of webinars jointly with Global Product Compliance (GPC), in which invited experts will analyze and interpret the regulatory developments and market trends in Indian chemicals, cosmetics, food contact materials and pesticide industries, in 2022 and beyond.

The Latest Updates of Indian Chemical Regulation – Indian Chemicals Management and Safety Rules (ICMSR)

According to India’s Chemicals (Management and Safety) Rules (ICMSR), also known as India REACH, a new, comprehensive chemicals management system will be established in India. Currently, a 5th Draft is in circulation, which expands compliance obligations relative to the current legal framework. ICMSR is expected to come into force this year. All substances will require advance notice (with additional data requirements). Full registration of 750 priority substances is required within 18 months after the rules come into force. Given the short compliance period, timely preparation for compliance materials is highly recommended.
