Webinar Series on Testing and Assessment Methodologies

27 September 2022 at 14:00 (CEST) | The OECD is organising a webinar on the first stand-alone Non-Animal Methods (NAMs) for eye hazard identification into OECD guidelines: GL No. 467 and test No. 492b. This webinar aims to increase the awareness of these newly adopted guidelines for regulatory acceptance and to recognise the efforts of the organisation, as well as its stakeholders to commit to 3R principles for chemical hazard testing

Emission Scenario Documents

This OECD Emission Scenario Document (ESD) is intended to provide information on emissions of metals during primary and secondary smelting and waste incineration, which cover recycling of electrical and electronic waste. It thus aims to derive the relevant emission factors of metals during smelting, waste incineration and from boilers.

Series on Risk Management - Publications by number

The series on Risk Management covers methodologies for both governments and industry to manage risks posed by chemicals and, when appropriate, to harmonise risk management activities. The OECD provides information on the following areas: perfluorinated chemicals, substitution of hazardous chemicals, sustainable chemistry and others.

Safety of novel foods and feeds and on the harmonisation of regulatory oversight in biotechnology

These two documents compile information on activities related to the assessment of the safety of products derived from modern biotechnology, environmental safety (biosafety) and the safety of novel foods and feeds, at the international level between April 2021 and May 2022. The information was provided by OECD Members, partner countries and observer organisations participating in the work.

Publications in the series on chemical accidents

A new report aims to investigate safety issues related to the prevention of, preparedness for, and response to accidents involving manufactured nanomaterials. Available information, guidelines, and seven accident cases are analysed for raising awareness of chemical safety policymakers on the potential risks of chemical accidents involving nanomaterials and reviewing measures to prevent them.
