The aim of the symposium is to facilitate a forum for discussion and to provide information on areas such as:

• The Biocidal Products Regulation

• The transition for notified product status to authorised product status

• The impact of Brexit

This is a free event which is open to all and will be of special interest to those placing biocidal products on the Irish market, so please feel free to circulate this to anyone who you think may have an interest in attending.

The programme is available on the PCD website:
