  1. A European new joint initiative between: • A.I.S.E (International Soap, Detergent and Maintenance Products Association) and • CEFIC (European Chemical Industry Council), suppliers of the raw materials

  2. Partnership • Producers and • Downstream users of chemicals in household cleaning products.

  3. Objectives • To show with real examples that HERA risk assessment concept can provide relevant safety information and evaluation concerning ingredients used in detergent and cleaning products, to Authorities and to the public in a fast, effective and transparent way • To contribute in a useful and practical way to a risk-based approach in EU chemicals legislation • To serve as a pilot for possible application in other product sectors and /or geographical areas

  4. HERA Risk Assessment Concept • Focus on ingredients of household detergents and cleaning products and identify • potential environmental effects • potential effects on human health • Focus on consumer phase • known and probable uses and discharges of detergent and cleaning products hazard exposure

  5. Principles • Partnership chemicals/products manufacturers • Open dialogue with stakeholders • Transparency • Data • Procedures • Sound science at all steps • Risk (hazard & probable exposure) based priorities • Tiered approach • No preconception of outcome of risk assessment • Risk management to be considered where needed

  6. Phase I • Develop methodology for HERA risk assessments • Objective : rapid & efficient, but still good, sound science • Work on example substances • Objective : establish feasibility with industry partners, Authorities and all interested parties Phase II Apply to a wider range of substances

  7. Phase 1 scientific and regulatory stakeholder input • 1A Establish methodology and write guidance manual, using three substances as examples: • Alkylsulphates surfactant family, an optical brightener, a zeolite additional stakeholder input • 1B Evaluate and refine methodology on another 15-20 substances broad stakeholder input • Phase 2 • Use methodology on relevant A.I.S.E. ingredients

  8. Relation with other chemical initiatives • Voluntary initiative complementary to others (ICCA), ACA, EU Existing Chemicals current program and USA HPV program

  9. Value • Cooperation : suppliers – formulators • Quality : better exposure information • Communication/Common language : common detergent and cleaning product Industry risk assessment (versus individual in past) • Dialogue : scientific experts, Authorities and consumer/environmental organizations discussion forum • Harmonization : • Towards global concepts and methods • Use work done elsewhere
