Guidance Document on Reporting Chemical Exposure

This Guidance Document provides three formats for reporting summary information on environmental, occupational and consumer exposure to chemicals, together with guidance for completing and using the formats. Format A is for general information and overview of exposure, including description of production, use, and exposure pathways. Formats B and C are for reporting summary of monitoring and modelling studies respectively. These formats are designed to be flexible enough to cover any kind of chemicals, variety of exposure scenarios, and various international or national or chemical assessment programmes. Within the OECD Chemicals Programme, this Guidance Document will be used for the reporting of post-SIDS (Screening Information Data Set) exposure information collection in the assessment of high production volume chemicals. Also available are blank formats and an example of completed formats.
