OECD

The OECD member countries and its secretariat work together to develop and co-ordinate chemical and pesticide related activities on an international basis. Part of working together includes Mutual Acceptance of Data.

The main objectives of the OECD Chemicals Programme are to:

• assist OECD Member countries' efforts to protect human health and the environment through improving chemical safety;
• make chemical control policies more transparent and efficient and save resources for government and industry; and
• prevent unnecessary distortions in the trade of chemicals and chemical products.

ICMM actively participates in their activities through the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC)
