The Nordic Expert Group for Criteria Documentation of Health Risks from Chemicals (NEG) consisted of scientific experts from the five Nordic countries representing different fields of science, such as toxicology, occupational hygiene, and occupational medicine. The main task was to produce criteria documents (Figure 3.10) to be used by the regulatory authorities of the Nordic countries as the scientific basis for setting Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) for chemical substances.

In 1998, the Are safety of television sets and computer monitors manufactured in various countries was studied by a group of flame retardant experts associated with the European Chemical Industry Council. Various ignition sources were utilized, from simulation of a household candle to a trash basket full of paper. The results showed that TV sets purchased in Germany and the Nordic countries ignited easily, even with the smallest ignition source. Normally, these sets did not contain any flame retardant, in order to pass green labeling, or contained minimal amounts of flame retardant, to meet the European lEC 60065 test. In contrast, TV sets purchased in the United States or Japan, which were...
