Hazard characterisation

Hazard characterisation is the qualitative and, wherever possible, quantitative description of the inherent properties of a chemical that have the potential to cause adverse effects. This should, where possible, include a dose response assessment and its uncertainties. With high resources the steps proposed for implementation of this sub-element are as follows:

  1. Carry out your own characterisation of the hazards of the selected chemicals, taking into account existing assessments from other countries.
  2. Use the hazard characterisation in risk assessment (see Risk characterisation).
