The OECD New Chemicals Program

New industrial chemicals notification and assessment schemes have been established in the majority of OECD Member countries, creating a range of notification and assessment requirements. The OECD has created a New Industrial Chemicals Information Directory, which provides readily accessible information about notification and assessment schemes, contact points, sources of information on notification and assessment schemes, and sources of information on specific chemicals for a number of countries. 

The OECD Database on Chemical Risk Assessment Models includes information on models (computerized or capable of being computerized) that are used by OECD Member governments and industry to predict health or environmental effects (e.g., QSARs), exposure potential, and possible risks. The methods described have not been evaluated or validated by OECD.
