Compounding World to launch exhibition in US
AMI and Compounding World magazine have announced plans to hold the second Compounding World Expo in Cleveland in Ohio, US, on 8-9 May 2019. The free-to-attend exhibi- tion will follow on from the first Compounding World Expo, which is taking place in Essen, Germany on 27-28 June 2018. The US exhibition will be
held at the state-of-the-art Huntington Convention Center in downtown Cleveland and will feature free-to-attend conference sessions, plus a networking party for attendees and exhibitors at the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the evening of 8 May. Andy Beevers, Director
of Events and Magazines at AMI, said: “We’ve been delighted by the very positive industry response to the first focused exhibi- tion for the compounding industry, which we are holding in Germany this June, and it has led to numerous requests for a similar event in North America. We selected Cleveland as the ideal location for the exhibition because of its easy acces- sibility for huge numbers of compounders, as well as the excellent convention facilities, hotels, restaurants and entertainment options in the city’s revitalised downtown.”

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has updated the entry for bisphenol-A (BPA) in the Candidate List of substanc- es of very high concern (SVHCs). BPA was already included in the list but an additional reason for inclusion has now been added: endocrine proper- ties causing adverse effects to the environment. Inclusion of a substance on the Candidate List imposes additional responsibilities on users, producers and importers.
