Guidance regarding regulatory duties. Addressed to those who make and place on the market, or import into the European Community (EC), new substances. Particularly relevant to small or medium sized organisations, although large chemical manufacturers and importers will find it useful. Fully aligned to the 1993 Regulations, which acknowledge the increasingly prevalent role of chemicals in life and industry, and the often beneficial effects, but at the same time are cognisant of the potential harm.

Accordingly, this guide explores relevant issues to consider under the two overarching objectives of NONS (notification and the provision of certain information). Given in five parts, three of which expansively cover the central issues of notification, procedures for such and risk assessment.
