Trade Control Compliance – The Chemical Business Association’s Code of Conduct in Practice

Synopsis

To operate effectively in the modern day chemical and pharmaceutical supply chain companies need to have a good understanding of the possible uses and misuses to which the chemicals they are manufacturing, supplying, or using can be put.

There are several substances subject to strategic export controls (trade controls) on an international level but also nationally, such as EU and UK, which require differing degrees of paperwork and processes in place to ensure compliance. It is therefore vital that companies keep up to date with the changes to prevent delays, enforcement action or ‘bad press.’

In this presentation I will outline how CBA’s Code of Conduct on trade controls for chemicals is helping member companies not only understand their obligations and the requirements of the legislation, but also gives them practical advice on how they can put this into practise.

The presentation will provide a basic insight into aspects of:

• What to do in practice
• Legal Expectations
• What security measures should be in place
