Tender: methodologies to assess the inherent skin sensitisation potential of chemical substances
The Executive Agency for Health and Consumers (EAHC) has published a call for tenders for the development of methodologies to assess the inherent skin sensitisation potential of chemical substances. The objective of the contract is to increase the knowledge base for a systematic approach to the issue of skin allergies. This initiative follows a number of reports in the public domain and indications from the European Commission non-food scientific committees and most notably the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products that show that the incidence of respiratory and skin allergies is increasing in the EU.For further information, please contact: Executive Agency for Health and Consumers Health Unit Jean Monnet Building rue Alcide de Gasperi Contact: Ingrid Keller L-2920 Luxembourg Tel. +352 4301 35 330 Fax +352 4301 30 359 E-mail: EAHC-HP-TENDER@ec.europa.eu.
