This guidance document was prepared by the EuroSafe Working Group on Risk Assessment. The WG was initiated after the Conference on Risk Assessment for Consumer Products held in Edinburgh, April 2005. Under Acknowledgement, you will find the background and the members of this Working Group.
The deliverable of the Working Group is this website, which contains:
- main definitions and a framework for risk assessment of non-food consumer products;
- a knowledge base for others who aim at producing practical methods of risk assessment;
- an inventory of the principles underlying risk assessment, in particular for product design and post market monitoring;
- links to guidelines for producers, importers, retailers, enforcers and consumer organisations on how to apply these principles in practice;
- suggestions about what type of information can be used in each step.
The working group has also made a first inventory of practical tools that are often used in risk assessment, such as risk matrices. This is a living document which includes remarks based on practical experience with several of the methods.
