Implement rules on procurement

The implementation of the procurement scheme element aims to reduce risks that arise from the use of chemical products by encouraging the use of such products which have low impact on human health and the environment throughout their life cycle, and discouraging the use of chemical products with a high impact.

Two activities are recommended for this implementation:

  1. Implement rules on procurement
  2. Develop guidance on procurement

Rules on procurement ensure that the least harmful chemicals are purchased and avoid the supply of sub-standard and inappropriate formulations, contained in unsuitable packaging of poor quality or with inadequate labelling.
The implementation of such rules necessitates collecting, disseminating and evaluating data by authorities.
 

Below is a list of tools relevant for implementing this topic :
