Today’s regulatory and product safety landscape for retailers is constantly changing. In addition to new and emerging regulatory requirements, Canadian retailers are responding to increasing consumer and NGO demands that require greater transparency and safer products. Retailers are at the forefront of responding to this trend by evolving their product safety and compliance programs and implementing tools to meet these challenges.

 

On April 7, 2022, RCC will be hosting a webinar with UL to share insights, tools, and best practices for:

  • Helping ensure the safety of lithium-ion powered products: when and how to leverage testing and certification options.
  • Children’s product safety: textile flammability, product categories experiencing frequent product recalls and best practices to minimize product recalls.
  • Complying with chemical regulations in Canada: including strategies to comply with the new volatile organic compound (VOC) regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, which affects 130 product categories.

Register now to stay ahead of emerging regulatory and product safety developments in the Canadian retail sector.
