Reasons for the RevisedGESAMPHazard Evaluation Procedure
Chronic aquatic toxicity
GESAMP Hazard Profile covered acute effects to aquatic
organisms only, as no tests were available at this time.
Based on broadly accepted critique by Greenpeace, GESAMP
and IMO created a scientific panel for the development anddefinition of new criteria.
Chronic aquatic toxicity to be evaluated.

Biodegradation
Environment hazard evaluation by GESAMP was based onaspects discussed and tested in the 1960s (bioaccumulation).
GESAMP Hazard Profile did not cover any degradation in the
sea, as no tests were available at this time.
Based on broadly accepted critique by scientists within
GESAMP and the scientific panel for the development and
definition of new criteria,
Readily biodegradable substances to be identified.

Introduction of the GHSThe Globally Harmonized System for Classification andLabelling of Chemicals (GHS)
Challenge noted by the United Nations (1990s):
People of any ages, from children to elderly,
using many different languages and alphabets,
belonging to various social conditions, including illiterates,
are confronted to dangerous ... chemicals ...;
the youngest, poorest and least educated are the most vulnerable.
Labelling is essential and should be simple and understandable !
Classification and labelling of hazards should be harmonized !

Introduction of the GHSThe Globally Harmonized System for Classification andLabelling of Chemicals (GHS)
1992 UNCED United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development, Rio de Janeiro:
"A globally harmonized hazard classification and
compatible labelling system, including safetydata sheets and easily understandable symbols,
should be available, if feasable, by the year
2000.
2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development,Johannesburg
Plan of Action para. 22 adopted"Implemention of the GHS before 2008 !
