ASEAN Regulatory Essentials 2026–2027: Cosmetic & Chemical Compliance Across Southeast Asia

This comprehensive webinar brings together two critical pillars of regulatory compliance in Southeast Asia cosmetic regulations and chemical control frameworks offering participants a complete picture of the evolving legislative landscape across the ASEAN region.

Delivered across two focused sessions, the webinar is designed for regulatory affairs professionals, product stewardship teams, compliance managers, and business leaders navigating market access in one of the world's most dynamic regulatory environments.

Part 1 – ASEAN Cosmetic Regulation

The first session provides a practical and structured overview of cosmetic regulations across the ASEAN region, covering everything businesses need to know to successfully bring cosmetic products to market. Topics include:

  • Introduction to the ASEAN regulatory framework for cosmetics
  • Definition and classification of cosmetic products
  • Ingredients and regulated substances, including restricted and prohibited lists
  • Product notification requirements and procedures
  • Labelling rules and permissible claims
  • National specificities and country-level variations across ASEAN member states
  • Key takeaways for exporters targeting the ASEAN cosmetics market

Part 2 – Southeast Asia Chemical Regulations 2026–2027

The second session delivers a comparative analysis of chemical regulatory frameworks across six key Southeast Asian jurisdictions Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines  with a focus on compliance obligations relevant for 2026–2027. Coverage includes:

  • Thailand's Hazardous Substance Act and classification-based control system
  • Indonesia's Government Regulation No. 74/2001 and cross-ministry regulatory responsibilities
  • Malaysia's CLASS Regulations and GHS implementation under the Occupational Safety and Health framework
  • Vietnam's landmark Law on Chemicals No. 69/2025/QH15, in force since 2026, and its implementing decrees
  • Singapore's control-based model under the Environmental Protection and Management Act and SS 586
  • The Philippines' RA 6969, the PICCS inventory, and the Pre-Manufacture and Pre-Importation Notification system

Throughout both sessions, particular attention will be given to GHS implementation, Safety Data Sheet requirements, hazard communication obligations, and practical strategies for managing regulatory risk and ensuring market access.
