The main conclusion of an expert workshop on endocrine modulators and wildlife in 1997 was that some existing test methods, as defined in guidelines published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), could be adapted to incorporate specific endocrine disrupting endpoints, but that there might also be the need to develop new tests, e.g. for fish. On behalf of the UK Government, the MRC Institute for Environment and Health (lEH)...

In response to the Arab embargo, and the attempt of OPEC to dictate the supply and price of petroleum, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) established the International Energy Agency (lEA) in November 1974. lEA membership included all of Western Europe, Canada, the... 

Some fairly common mistakes made in managing electronic SOPs, protocols, and changes to them are listed below. If these can be avoided, the resulting computer system should meet the requirements of the US, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) GLP standards as well as the FDA s Rule on Electronic Record Keeping Electronic Signatures. ... 

Any person importing hazardous waste into the United States from a foreign country is subject to hazardous waste generator standards. RCRA also contains specific requirements for hazardous waste exports. Importers and exporters must also comply with the provisions of international trade treaties, such as the Basel Convention and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Council Decision.

The United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) includes an internationally standardized guidance procedure on Transformation/Dissolution Protocol (T/DP) for metals and sparingly soluble metal compounds (United Nations, 2007), recently validated by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). To establish the acute aquatic hazard classification level of a metal-bearing substance under the GHS, data from the T/DP are compared with an acute ecotoxicity reference value (ERV) derived under conditions similar to those of the T/DP. 

Mr. Don Clay, Director of the Office of Toxic Substances, discussed the premanufacture review procedures and experience with PMNs to date at a meeting of the Organization for Economic Cooperation on Development (OECD) Chemicals Forum in December, (10). He noted that EPA s chemistry, toxicology, and exposure assessment teams normally complete their preliminary evaluation within a week of receipt of a PMN, and, that preliminary assessment eliminates about 50 percent of the substances as chemicals of low concern. They then proceed to structure activity analysis and reasonable worst case assumptions to assess unreasonable risk or the need for more data.
