  • Recommendation on Assessment of Regulatory Needs (ARNs).pdf

    Uploaded 11 Jan 2024

    DUCC supports joint recommendation for clarity on Assessment of Regulatory Needs (ARNs)

    ARNs, initiated by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA), serve as a preliminary step to evaluate the necessity of regulatory risk management for substances. After group assessments, 60% of substances are deemed not to require additional regulatory measures, while the remaining 40% necessitate further data collection to determine and implement appropriate regulatory risk management measures.

    The ARN tool facilitates anticipation of potential regulatory actions, encouraging industry engagement in the process and proactivity in updating dossier information.
