How can we conduct child-specific chemical risk assessments to ensure children are sufficiently protected from chemical health hazards in consumer products?
Background
Product Understanding looks at developing the Office’s evidence bases around specific products rather than for sectors and markets they sit in. The questions cover risk assessment of products and the various factors that go into measuring this, methods for identification, and measurement techniques for the effectiveness of consequent controls. They may also cover;
The number and nature of injuries involving a particular product (or information on other hazard types, e.g. environmental hazards, for products we regulate on behalf of OGDs);
The number of products sold and in homes;
Methods to quantify these;
Identifying risks around new products coming onto the market;
Scientific and technical understanding as it relates to a specific product.
