2026 North America Product Safety Training Workshop

Chemical testing results often raise more questions than answers—especially when companies are responding to emerging chemical issues, evolving regulations, and incomplete supply chain data. This session provides a practical roadmap for working effectively with laboratories when the risks, requirements, and next steps are unclear.
 
Attendees will learn what questions to ask laboratories based on the product and chemical at issue, how to design fit‑for‑purpose testing programs for emerging concerns like PFAS, and how to interpret results in context—including false positives, trace findings, and sampling limitations. The session will also cover how to assess quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) data, determine when a chemical exceedance triggers reporting, warning, or recall obligations, and manage data gaps across complex supply chains.

Finally, the discussion will examine key legal and regulatory trends in California and beyond—and how California’s approach continues to shape national compliance and risk management strategies.
