Overview of LATAM Chemical Regulation

About the webinar

Speakers:
Stephanie Scatton, Assistant Regulatory Coordinator – LatAm, GPC
Cintia Alerge, LatAm Regulatory Advisor, GPC

This webinar will deliver a comprehensive overview of Brazil’s newly approved chemical regulation, Law 15.022, outlining its purpose, key provisions, and implications for companies that manufacture, import, or handle chemical substances in the country. The session will also examine ABNT NBR 14.725, the standard that implements GHS Revision 7 in Brazil, with a detailed look at updates to hazard classification criteria and labeling requirements. Attendees will gain practical insight into how these changes affect compliance duties, transition timelines, and the adjustments organizations may need to make in product documentation and hazard communication systems.

In addition to the Brazil focus, the webinar will provide a concise but informative update on current chemical regulatory developments in Colombia and Peru. This segment will highlight recently proposed or enacted policies, potential shifts in national chemical inventories, new reporting or notification obligations, and forthcoming regulatory deadlines. Together, these updates will help participants understand the evolving chemical management landscape across South America and prepare for emerging compliance expectations in the region.
