Abstract
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an inter-governmental organisation which is composed of 24 industrialized countries in the western bloc. OECD aims at attaining economic growth in Member countries in terms of not only quantity but also quality. One of the important aspects of quality is protection of environment. OECD has made several achievements in the international control of chemicals, e.g., consolidated actions for PCBs, mercury and cadmium, Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Minimum Premarketing Set of Data (MPD). The present work in OECD focuses on existing chemicals for which international co-operations are strongly needed in light of the number of chemicals and the size of necessary work for them. This article outlines the achievements and the present work of the Chemicals Programme in OECD.
