Every year, thousands of new chemical products are added to existing ones, coming from both developed and developing countries. As regards this, the Intergovernmental Forum of Chemical Safety (IFCS) will have to provide clear, consistent counselling, in keeping with the costs of risks and handling of chemical products and through the generally accepted principles of due environmental management. This counselling should also include the provision of alternatives and severe restrictions to forbidden products.
