On April 23rd, a full-day seminar will be held in Bangkok to facilitate Thailand's accession preparations through the framework of the OECD Chemicals and Biotechnology Committee.

 

Following the submission of its Letter of Intent to the OECD in 2024, the Thai government is currently undergoing the formal review process in accordance with the "Accession Roadmap." To secure membership, Thailand must align its regulatory standards with those of the OECD Chemicals and Biotechnology Committee.

 

Key requirements include:

• Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD): Establishing a legal framework to recognize OECD-compliant GLP data.

• Quantitative Risk Assessment: Developing an evaluation system covering all chemical substances, beyond the scope of specific hazardous materials.

 

As the current Hazardous Substance Act (HSA) cannot address these requirements, the long-stalled "Chemical Act" is now being revitalized and aligned with OECD standards.

Key highlights of the seminar will be available on this website.
