OECD focus session on integrated approaches to testing and assessment

15-mars-2006

Member countries are beginning to share experiences on using integrated approaches to fulfil information requirements for testing and assessment in different regulatory frameworks. A Focus Session held during the 39th Joint Meeting of the Chemicals Committee and Working Party on Chemicals, Pestcides and Biotechnology gave an overview of practical experiences with specific innovative approaches being used in member countries and provided an opportunity to discuss the need for paradigm shifts to make the best use of information available to determine testing, assessment and management needs.

OECD adopts “Harmonised Templates” for reporting Test Study summaries

01-mars-2006

These templates, which have been prepared for database developers, prescribe the format by which results should be entered into and maintained in databases so that the data can easily be exchanged electronically across countries

Published: Four new Emission Scenario Documents (ESDs)

02-févr.-2006

OECD published four new Emission Scenario Documents (ESDs) which describe methods for estimating emissions of chemicals from various industry sectors and from uses of chemicals.  They relate to the following industry/use categories: Insecticides for Stables and Manure Storage Systems (Main Report / Annex), Kraft Pulp Mills , Non-Integrated Paper Mills , and Recovered Paper Mills . Including these four, OECD has so far published 17 ESDs. Users are encouraged to provide updated information for their continuous development.

Published: Comparison of emission estimation methods used in Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers and Emission Scenario Documents: Case study of pulp and paper and textile sectors

02-févr.-2006

The purpose of this case study document is to identify the similarities and differences between the emission estimation methods used in Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTRs) and Emission Scenario Documents (ESDs). The applicability of PRTR methods to the risk assessments intended by ESDs is also evaluated. Pulp and paper manufacture and textile wet processing are focused on in this document.

Published: Approaches to exposure assessment in OECD member countries: report from the Policy Dialogue on Exposure Assessment in June 2005

02-févr.-2006

This document summarises the outcome from a Policy Dialogue on Exposure Assessment held in June 2005 in Paris. Meeting documents developed from information submitted by member countries are attached.
