title: Activities of the OECD in the field of chemicals control with particular reference to the work on high production volume chemicals.
abstract: The direct products that member countries and industry have gained so far from the cooperative work in the OECD SIDS (screening information data set) context include: the wider availability of many data from industry; the generation of many test data; the development of SIDS dossiers and SIDS testing plans on 162 high production volume (HPV) chemicals; the preparation of SIDS initial assessment reports (25 are ready, another 67 will be ready in July 1994); and the improved mutual understanding of methods for making initial hazard assessments.
