approach to international chemicals management

The IOMC notes with concern that a number of mechanisms are in place to provide information on chemicals management capacity building at the international level.

The ninth special session of the Governing Council Global Ministerial Environment Forum of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) will take place immediately after the International Conference on Chemicals Management, which will be held in Dubai from 4 to 6 February 2006 and which is expected to adopt the completed strategic approach to international chemicals management (SAICM).

Such internationalisation has also helped strengthen managerial and marketing expertise and market access.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT STANDARDS, PARTICULARLY THE ISO 14000 SERIES,

At the second session of the Preparatory Committee for the Development of a Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management, it was proposed that the strategic approach to international chemicals management (SAICM) consist of three components a high level declaration an overarching policy strategy and a global plan of action.

Internationalization particularly the accelerated version characteristic of internationalizing SMEs from the developing world is risky and requires well thought out strategies and management skills.

A similar arrangement has been suggested by some participants in the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) process, whereby some form of tax would be imposed upon the international chemicals industry to generate funds to implement the SAICM.

It presents a proposal for the establishment and implementation of the process called for in the draft SAICM Concrete Measures as part of the SAICM institutional arrangements.

Demand for information on chemicals management capacity building exists, and governments and others have requested that international organizations (such as IOMC Organizations) coordinate to deliver such information (e.g. in IFCS, SAICM concrete measures process, etc.).

The scheduling of the initialization testing and the liaison with registry administrator will be undertaken by the service desk of the operator, under the management of the ITL administrator.

It is anticipated that the International Conference on Chemicals Management, having adopted SAICM, will refer it to the governing bodies of relevant intergovernmental organizations for consideration.
