The fifth session of the day, delivered by Ekaterina Tchepourina, Scientific and Regulatory Director at L’Oréal Russia, covered the Eurasian Customs Union including animal testing, standards and the process for Technical Regulation amendments and what to expect in the near future with regards to these.
Finally, Erika Bonnegrace closed the day with the sixth session, taking delegates on an ASEAN tour which covered the overarching ASEAN legislation and the particulars of each region as they introduce local laws and requirements.
