Global Chemical Notification Registration and Toxic Substance Management

Before marketing a new chemical, the manufacturer/importer, in order to meet the various national and international legal requirements, has to submit information in the form of a notification or registration (e.g. phys-chem, toxicological, ecotoxicological data) to support each Government’s risk assessment to determine whether the substance poses an unreasonable risk to the environment and/or human health. Some countries require pre-manufacture/import notification while for many jurisdictions, the chemical notification process is a tiered system requiring subsequent notifications as the annual amount of the imported or manufactured substance increases. Further, there are expanding global initiatives to assess chemicals already in the marketplace and subsequently take action on any chemicals found to be harmful to human health and/or the environment. Government risk management initiatives are investigating the incorporation of informed substitution and alternatives assessment to identify candidates to replace existing toxics.

Evolving Chemical Hazard Evaluation Strategies for SMEs

GoToWebinar

Recent regulations such as the 2016 amended Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and regulatory agencies such as the European Union (EU) have begun to encourage alternatives to animal testing to assess chemical hazards. These efforts aim to replace animal tests with reliable and validated non-animal methods. This webinar series will highlight the regulatory landscape of toxicity testing requirements and acceptance of animal testing alternatives for industrial chemicals with a specific focus on the 2016 update to TSCA. It will showcase novel and emerging non-animal hazard evaluation strategies for compliance under such regulations such as read-across, high throughput assays, and quantitative structural-activity relationships.
