Workshop

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is organising a Workshop on the “Methodologies to prioritise chemicals for prevention and control of emissions from industrial installation” on 13 February 2023 (12:30-17:30 CET).

The workshop will bring together knowledge and views from authorities and industry to discuss and compare practical approaches for inventorying and prioritising chemicals used at industrial sites.

The goal is to identify methods that follow the safety assessment principles defined in REACH and the pollution prevention approach in IED, and that can be applied by site operators as part of their management system.
