ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

The World Federation of Building Service Contractors (WFBSC) secured observer status at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe GHS subcommittee in Geneva last week.

This subcommittee is responsible for global policy on the regulation of chemical products including cleaning chemicals.

Andrew Large, executive vice president of the WFBSC spoke after the meeting: "This represents a step change improvement in our ability to represent the interests of global cleaning employers.

"We look forward to engaging with the UN subcommittee in the coming months to ensure that the position of downstream cleaning chemical users is fully understood by the regulatory authorities."
