Chemical Working Group Meeting

On 23 April, the Chemical Working Group convened its regular meeting at the EuroCham office. The session was chaired by the Head of the Working Group, Inezia Aurelia (Head of Regulatory Management & Trade Compliance at Merck Life Science).

Members engaged in a focused discussion on recent developments concerning the mandatory halal certification for chemicals, scheduled to take effect on 17 October 2026. The group also examined updates in Indonesia’s trade policy related to chemical materials, including hazardous substances. In addition, members reviewed ongoing issues and outlined upcoming action plans.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all participants for their valuable insights and continued support in advancing the Chemical Working Group’s advocacy agenda.
