Vital issues should be identified in advance before starting assessment and stakeholders should engage in the formation and locking study parameters of problems. Modern scientific policies and methods should be used instead of relying on outdated assumptions and default methods.

Evaluators should develop and apply uniform criteria for the selection of studies used in data assessment and evaluation. All evaluations should be based on a framework that takes into account and coordinates all relevant studies, while giving the highest weight to the most relevant and high quality studies.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”03″][vc_column_text]

Transparency in the chemical review process has to be enhanced by providing disclosure of key information used to produce basic data and assessments. Both risks and hazards should be characterized correctly and in a manner that deals with actual human exposure.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”04″][vc_column_text]

To ensure the value and objectivity of studies, all chemical identification must be subject to a robust review of independent experts and peer review panels. Further, accountability and transparency can be ensured by improving the process of dealing fully with expert results and public comments.
