tailieunhanh - Priority Existing Chemical Assessment Report No. 28: Formaldehyde

The 2001 White Paper "European Transport Policy for 2010: Time to Decide" sets out the ambitious target of reducing the number of road fatalities with 50 percent by 2010. This requires a rapid increase in the efforts of all safety stakeholders. To support these actions, the European Commission officially launched the eSafety initiative in April 2002. “eSafety brings together the European Commission, industry, public authorities and other stakeholders to accelerate the development, deployment and use of eSafety systems ­ Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems ­ that use information and communication technologies in intelligent solutions, in order to increase road safety and reduce the number of accidents on Europes roads.”8 Within this project, several workgroups are active in different areas. The Human­Machine Interface group9 is most interesting for this research, as its aiming at the design of HMI for Intelligent Vehicle Systems. At the moment, the result of this workgroup is a European statement of principles on Human Machine Interface, containing general design guidelines10 . . | Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing NICNAS Priority Existing Chemical Assessment Report No. 28 Formaldehyde November 2006 National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme GPO Box 58 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia Commonwealth of Australia 2006 ISBN 0 9758470 9 0 This work is copyright.

This Scheme was established by the Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Act 1989 Cwlth the Act which came into operation on 17 July 1990. The principal aim of NICNAS is to aid in the protection of people at work the public and the environment from the harmful effects of industrial chemicals. NICNAS assessments are carried out in conjunction with the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Heritage which carries out the environmental assessment for NICNAS. NICNAS has two major assessment programs the assessment of human health and safety and environmental effects of new industrial chemicals prior to importation or manufacture and the other focussing on the assessment of chemicals already in use in Australia in response to specific concerns about their health and or environmental effects. There is an established mechanism within NICNAS for prioritising and assessing the many thousands of existing chemicals in use in Australia. Chemicals .
