Bureau Veritas to Speak & Sponsor AAFA Virtual Product Safety & Compliance Seminar

May. 7 2020

Bureau Veritas, the leading Testing, Inspection and Certification provider, will participate in and sponsor the AAFA Virtual Product Safety & Compliance Seminar, now hosted virtually on June 3 & 4, 2020.  

This AAFA seminar will cover all the latest updates on compliance, regulations, labeling, and more.  The interactive program will allow you to see the speakers present virtually and "raise your hand" to ask questions directly to the speakers.  This year’s keynote speaker is Dana Baiocco, Commissioner at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Jennifer Hargrave, Bureau Veritas’ Senior Global Regulatory Consulting Specialist, and Jonathan Ginsberg, from One Jeanswear Group, will discuss Get Your Labels in Shape. Lack of understanding around laundering and care practices - from a marathoner using high performance garments to someone doing laundry for the first time, has an impact on the performance and lifespan of a garment. Better labels can help. Planning for the future of labels is great – but what about right now, you need to remain compliant and give your consumers the necessary information.

The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) is a national trade association representing apparel, footwear and other sewn products companies, and their suppliers, which compete in the global market. 

We hope to "see" you at this virtual event.
