ICCR technical recommendations often become the international standard and are used by other regulators around the globe. In addition to holding their own sessions as regulators, ICCR regulators spend part of a day with industry as a key stakeholder to discuss the progress of the various joint technical working groups. Time is also alloted for regulators to meet with other interested stakeholders which this year included the Sharkwater Foundation and Humane Society International.
As industry co-host for ICCR-13, Cosmetics Alliance Canada chaired the ICCR Industry Steering Committee, which coordinates industry participation in ICCR and the joint working groups, as well as provides support and secretariat services during the course of our term.
The annual ICCR meetings rotate between the five member jurisdictions.
