Shanghai, China, 14 Oct 2014 On Oct 14th 2014, REACH24H successfully hosted “Chinese Chemical Regulatory Annual Symposium” in Shanghai, China. In helping remove chemical regulatory barriers for companies from both China and abroad, we have been deeply aware since long ago that in the work of chemical regulatory compliance there basically exist numerous multi-layer conundrums facing the affected parties, normally owing to the regulation itself and those technical difficulties involved.
