Risk Characterisation
Risk characterisation is the qualitative and, wherever possible, quantitative determination, including uncertainties, of the probability of occurrence of known and potential adverse effects of a chemical in a given organism, system, or (sub)population under defined exposure conditions.
With medium resources the implementation steps proposed for this sub-element are:
- Make use of other countries’ risk characterisation as guidance, but use the results of your own adapted exposure assessment in place of theirs
. - Agree on the risk assessment with the relevant ministries, following stakeholder involvement.
