ABSTRACT

In this section of the resource kit, we have made available selected sources of information which may assist in developing and
strengthening the chemicals management infrastructure within a country, including information which may assist in the evaluation of
chemicals. This is not intended to be a comprehensive compilation but simply to provide an overview of the information that is
available. It will continue to evolve as experience is gained in the implementation of the Convention and new documents or sources
of information are identified.

The primary audience for this material is Designated National Authorities (DNAs) and government authorities involved in chemicals
management. The information may also be useful to non-governmental organizations and stakeholders involved in the development,
production, transportation, use, import or export of chemicals.
