Authored by a team of industry experts, the book reviews laws and regulations related to chemical management programs in Europe, Asia, the United States, and Central and South America. The authors describe the basics of each law, while explaining how the law influences the chemicals business and how it applies to specific elements of the global supply chain. To further assist legal professionals who work in the chemicals industry, the text explores how a law could affect a product line and how executives can plan for the transactional and enforcement impacts of a nation’s chemical management program. |
