For authorisation of a biocidal product sufficient efficacy must be proven, and an assessment of the health and environmental risks must be conducted. However, guidance is lacking on how to assess the efficacy of such articles, and how to estimate exposure from them. Therefore, the Swedish Chemicals agency has commissioned a study to close this gap.

This study was commissioned by the Swedish Chemical Agency and conducted by Ramboll Environment & Health. The study was initiated as part of an ongoing dialogue between the Swedish Chemicals Agency and the Swedish Environment Protection Agency regarding how to increase material recycling without recirculating substances of concern.

A strategy and criteria for their identification.

Kemikalieinspektionen initierade under 2019 ett projekt med syfte att påbörja en utvärdering av kemikalieskatten på elektronik. Syftet med utvärderingen var att utreda om skatten i sin nuvarande form har haft den avsedda effekten att minska innehållet av miljö- och hälsofarliga flamskyddsmedel i elektronik. Som en del i detta projekt vill Kemikalieinspektionen undersöka förekomsten av alternativa flamskyddsmedel och kartlägga huruvida dessa ökar i användning.
