Stockholm Convention POPRC-22 meeting details published (21–25 September 2026, Rome) including revised draft risk profile item for PBDD/Fs and mixed PBDD/PCDD/Fs
The Stockholm Convention Secretariat published the official schedule and key agenda focus for the 22nd meeting of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (POPRC-22), to be held 21–25 September 2026 in Rome, Italy (FAO HQ). The posted overview highlights that POPRC will consider the revised draft risk profile for polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs) and mixed polybrominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, including requests for additional Annex E information. This is relevant to regulatory horizon-scanning because POPRC outcomes can advance candidate chemicals through the Article 8 process toward possible future listing decisions by the COP.
POPRC-22 scheduled for 21–25 September 2026 in Rome; revised draft risk profile for PBDD/Fs and mixed PBDD/PCDD/Fs to be considered
The Stockholm Convention Secretariat meeting page indicates that POPRC-22 is scheduled in Rome, Italy (21–25 September 2026) and will consider a revised draft risk profile for polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs) and mixed polybrominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (mixed PBDD/PCDD/Fs). The page also notes POPRC-21 deferred its decision and invited additional Annex E information. For compliance monitoring, this is a process signal that these substances remain under active evaluation and could lead to future listing recommendations to the COP.
Louisiana Board of Pharmacy opens Regulatory Project 2026-01 to overhaul Controlled Dangerous Substances rules (Chapter 27), including ARCOS reports only upon request
The Louisiana Board of Pharmacy (LABP) lists an active rulemaking project (Regulatory Project 2026-01) to amend LAC Title 46, Part LIII, Chapter 27 (Controlled Dangerous Substances). The stated intent includes adopting federal controlled substance regulations by reference, consolidating Louisiana-specific provisions into §2713, repealing redundant sections, and changing distributor reporting so ARCOS-related reports would be provided to the Board only upon request (reducing routine reporting burden). Compliance teams supporting CDS registrants (manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, etc.) should track this project because it may materially change Louisiana-specific procedural obligations and the frequency/trigger for ARCOS data submissions to the state regulator.

EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation — application begins 12 August 2026
The European Union has introduced updates under the Packaging and Packaging Waste framework to strengthen requirements on packaging sustainability, waste reduction, and recyclability. The regulation sets stricter obligations on the use, design, labeling, and disposal of packaging materials across the EU market. It aims to reduce environmental impact by promoting circular economy principles, including increased recyclability, reuse targets, and reduction of hazardous substances in packaging. General application begins: 12 August 2026. Key Requirements: • Mandatory recyclability and reusability targets for packaging • Reduction of excess and unnecessary packaging • Restrictions on hazardous substances in packaging materials • Introduction of labeling and information requirements • Increased responsibility under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
ASTM opens WK86336 work item to revise A193/A193M-23 (remove duplicate/conflicting Grade B8 row in Table 2)
ASTM has an active work item (WK86336) proposing a revision to ASTM A193/A193M-23 to correct an identified inconsistency in Table 2 (austenitic steels). The work item indicates Grade B8 should be removed from a duplicate/conflicting “Class 1 and 1D” row because the two rows have different elongation requirements, creating ambiguity. Compliance/procurement/specification teams that rely on A193/A193M-23 (including for Grade B8 bolting acceptance criteria) should monitor this work item and be prepared to update internal specifications, purchase orders, and inspection/test criteria once the revision is balloted and published as a new edition or correction.
