• Risk Management Measures (RMM): This RMM library was developed in the context of the preparation of the ECHA Guidance on Chemical Safety Assessment. Information provided in the various worksheets can be used to specify RMMs chosen to eliminate/minimize exposure to hazardous substances. More specific RMM for different industry sectors are currently under preparation and will be available soon.

•  Generic Exposure Scenarios (GES): The use of GES is Cefic’s recommended way to develop Exposure Scenarios. Here you will find available GES which have been developed by Manufacturers and Downstream Users associations. (soon available). Please check the overview above, and contact relevant sector association(s) for more information on the GES for a particular sector.
   
• Specific Environmental Release Classes (SPERCs): Industry Sector Associations have developed Specific Environmental Release Classes, describing the typical operations in their sectors including (conservative) release factors and efficiencies of RMM/OC. These SPERCs can be used for Environmental Exposure Estimates and are included in the Ecetoc TRA. Fact sheets with justifications for these sector specific parameters are under development and will be published soon.
