Permanent Representations of the EU Member States and EEA-EFTA Countries Sent by email only Subject: Renewal and new membership of ECHA Committees RAC and SEAC Dear Sir/Madam, The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is herewith launching the process for (re)nominating candidates for membership of the Committees for Risk Assessment (RAC) and Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC).1 The names of the current members whose term of office is about to end are listed in Annex 1 and the list of vacancies is contained in Annex 2. To support Member States in selecting the most appropriate candidates, we attach background documents (Annexes 4 and 5) that describe the two Committees of ECHA with respect to their tasks, role of members, ways of operation and the foreseeable workload. The background documents also specify the current needs of the Committees in terms of scientific expertise. Members are expected to provide at least 50% of their time to the work of the Committees and the nominating authority, on behalf of the member’s employer, guarantees this by signing Annex 3 of the nomination papers. With responsibilities as rapporteur, this can rise to 70-80% of the member’s time, particularly in RAC. All members of RAC and SEAC are required to take on the crucial role of rapporteur and draft the scientific opinion of the Committee on specific cases. Commenting on draft opinions circulated for Committee consultation is an equally important task. Prior to submitting the (re-)nomination documents, the nominating authority/employer is strongly recommended to liaise with the Chairs of RAC and SEAC, respectively, to discuss suitable profiles for candidates being nominated for the first time and to discuss the performance of candidates (current members) proposed for re-nomination:

 Chair of RAC: [email protected]  Chair of SEAC: [email protected]

A phone interview with the respective Chair will be organized for all new candidates; nominations will only be forwarded for consideration by the Management Board of the Agency once this has successfully been completed.

1. Practicalities

You are kindly invited to submit your nominations and supporting documents no later than 3 May 2022 [email protected]. Nominations must come through the Permanent Representation/Mission to the EU. This is to be done preferably by forwarding to ECHA, via email the nomination form (Annex 3)

BACKGROUND PAPER

Committee for Risk Assessment

1 Introduction The Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is responsible for providing opinions to the Commission on Restrictions and Applications for Authorisation under the REACH1 regulation as well as on harmonised classifications under Classification, Labelling and Packaging CLP2 and Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) under the Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive (CMD3). All of these processes require an in-depth scientific knowledge and expertise from the Committee’s members in a variety of specific disciplines. This document has been developed to support the Member States (MSs) in nominating, the best candidates to RAC. It provides details on the tasks and expected workload of the members and the level of support required from their nominating members state. Finally, the paper concludes with an overview of the fields of expertise needed by the members of RAC. 2 Composition, role and tasks of the Committee for Risk Assessment RAC is composed of members nominated by the EU Member States and EEA-EFTA countries but appointed by the Management Board of ECHA in their personal capacity as scientists. It has a nominal capacity of 60 members, two each from the 27 EU and 3 EEA- EFTA countries. At the moment there are 454 members (excluding the full complement of 5 co-opted members), thus 15 places are free. In addition, RAC can co-opt up to five additional members – all five places were filled in 2021. RAC formulates its opinion in relation to the following:

 Applications for Authorisation – Assessing the risk from the use(s) of a substance to workers and the environment arising from those uses for which authorisation is being sought. This includes an assessment of the operational conditions and risk management measures and the related exposures described in the application (Article 64(4) of the REACH Regulation);

1 Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, OJ L 396, 30.12.2006 p.1, corrected version in OJ L 136, 29.5.2007, p. 3 2 Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, OJ L 353, 31.12.2008 3 DIRECTIVE 2004/37/EC on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work 4After the MB-65 meeting on 29-30 March 2022

Summary: The Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) is currently looking for specialists to be nominated in particular in the fields of:

 epidemiology (worker/consumer)  toxicology and human health risk assessment  human and environmental risk assessment  biodegradation and ecotoxicology  occupational hygiene and medicine

Annex 4

2(3)

 Restrictions - Evaluating whether the restrictions proposed by a Member State or ECHA for a substance are appropriate in reducing the risk to human health and/or the environment;

 Harmonised Classification and Labelling - Evaluating proposals from Member States or manufacturers, importers or downstream users for harmonised classification and labelling of a substance under the CLP Regulation.

 Occupational Exposure Limits – RAC is requested by the European Commission to provide scientific evaluations on occupational exposure limits for carcinogens and chemical agents at the workplace.

3 Working procedures As described above, RAC covers several types of dossiers and processes. Moreover, there are fixed, tight deadlines for the delivery of opinions. RAC is chaired by Dr Tim Bowmer, with Ms Johanna Peltola-Thies as Deputy Chair; both are ECHA staff members and are supported by a committee secretariat provided by ECHA. 4 Expectations of expertise for the RAC members The REACH Regulation makes it clear that members must possess the necessary qualifications in order to allow the Committees to meet the high expectations placed on them. RAC members require a knowledge of regulatory science and its use under the REACH, CLP and OSH Regulations, related to chemicals. To provide independent scientific advice, the Committee requires expertise from both regulatory scientists and from academics. Key areas of expertise required The key areas of specialised expertise required by the Committee are presented below. Applications for Authorisations and Occupation Health and safety

 Epidemiology and occupational medicine  Human health risk assessment in particular carcinogenicity  Occupational hygiene and workplace exposure assessment  Risk Management Measures and operational conditions  Indirect exposure (humans via the environment); emissions to air, water,

soil/sediment Classification Labelling and Packaging (CLP)

 Regulatory toxicology: carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, toxicity to reproduction Specific Target Organ Toxicity, Sensitization, acute toxicity

 Ecotoxicology and biodegradation  Test Guideline development  Understanding of the CLP criteria

Restrictions

 Human health and environmental health risk assessment  Technical aspects of restrictions: effectiveness, monitorability, etc  Risk management measures  PBT, vPvB

Occupational exposure limits

 Occupational medicine  Epidemiology

Annex 4

3(3)

 Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, including Mode of Action Support for member’s activities Member State Competent Authorities are obliged to provide support to enable RAC members to accomplish their activities in RAC in accordance with Art. 85(6), keeping in mind the scientific independence of the members as established under Article 85(7) of the REACH Regulation. To this end, RAC members should be entitled to dedicate a major part of their working time to RAC activities - at least 50% of their time (See Annex III) - which requires specific arrangements with the members and their institutions/employers. With responsibilities as rapporteur, this can rise to 70-80% of the member’s time. This support could include the provision of regular advisers depending on the topic and ad-hoc specialists plus administrative support. Rapporteurships Most of the work of RAC is conducted between meetings and consists of drafting by Rapporteurs and consultation of the Committee’s opinions with the membership. According to Article 87(1) of the REACH Regulation, the members of RAC are expected to serve as (co-) rapporteurs for preparing the opinions of the Committee. Each member is expected to act as a rapporteurs or co-rapporteur for several dossiers per year during his/her 3-year membership depending on the scale of individual dossiers, this may be lower or higher. It should be noted that the scale and scoep of dossiers can vary considerably. Written commenting rounds on opinions All RAC members are expected to provide their comments and views on the different draft proposals during written consultations and should be fully involved in the opinion- making process. Reimbursement ECHA reimburses the travel and accommodation expenses and pays subsistence allowance to the members and, where relevant, remunerates the rapporteur and co- rapporteur for the work undertaken in line with the rules adopted by the Management Board (MB/41/2020). As no remuneration is considered for the rapporteurs of CLH dossiers, ECHA has implemented a mechanism for supporting them and thus contributing to the costs. The participation of one adviser supporting the CLH rapporteur in RAC meetings where the substance is discussed is reimbursed. Advisers not employed in the public service of the Member State can also receive an expert remuneration for their contribution to the meeting. 5 Further considerations RAC meetings are held four times a year, at present this usually consists of a single week meetings; the provisional dates are published on the Committee pages of the ECHA website at least a year in advance. Please note that RAC has established three working groups for Authorisations, Restrictions and Classification and Labelling; these meet between plenary meetings and pre-assess all dossiers ahead of the next plenary, making recommendatiosn to RAC. Members and/or their advisors are expected to be active in the Working Groups of RAC. Note: For 2022, a mixture of remote and face-to-face meetings are expected.

BACKGROUND PAPER

Committee for Socio-economic Analysis

1 Introduction The Committee for Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC) of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) plays an important role in the key REACH1 processes concerning restrictions and authorisations. Furthermore, it delivers opinions on any other aspects that arise from the operation of REACH relating to the socio-economic impacts of possible legislative action on substances. This document has been developed to support the Member States (MSs) in the process of renewal of memberships of SEAC, and/or of nomination of new candidates. It provides details on the expected workload of the members and the level of support required from their nominating Member State. Finally, the paper presents an overview of the fields of expertise to be covered in SEAC. 2 Composition, role and tasks of the Committee for Socio-economic Analysis SEAC is composed of members appointed by the Management Board based on nominations made by the Member States and EEA-EFTA countries. At the moment there are 36 members. In addition to members, SEAC can co-opt up to five additional members. In accordance with Article 77(1) of the Regulation, the task of ECHA is to provide the best possible scientific and technical advice on questions related to chemicals. The ECHA Committees (RAC, SEAC and MSC) are an essential part of the smooth functioning of REACH. The tasks of SEAC are described in REACH in Article 76(1)(d). SEAC formulates an ECHA opinion in relation to the following:

 Authorisation – Assessing the socio-economic factors related to applications for authorisation and the availability and technical and economic feasibility of alternatives.

 Restrictions – Assessing proposed restrictions and their socio-economic impact.

1 Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).

Summary: The Committee for Socio-Economic Analysis (SEAC) is currently looking for specialists to be nominated in particular in the fields of:

 economics (welfare, regulatory, public sector, environmental and/or health economics)

 chemical engineering (substitution of hazardous substances and analysis of technical feasibility of alternatives)

Annex 5

2(3)

In addition, the Executive Director of ECHA may ask SEAC to draw up an opinion on any other aspects concerning the safety of substances on their own, in preparations or in articles (Article 77(3)(b) and (c)). 3 Working procedures There are fixed, tight deadlines for the delivery of SEAC’s opinions, and consequently the committee will be under time pressure to deliver its opinions. Article 87(1) stipulates that the Committee shall appoint one of its members as a rapporteur in order to draft its opinions. Further to this, a co-rapporteur may be appointed. SEAC is chaired by an ECHA staff member, Ms Maria Ottati, and is supported by a committee secretariat provided by ECHA.

4 Expectations of expertise for the SEAC members The REACH Regulation makes it clear that members of the Committees must possess the necessary qualifications in order to allow the Committees to meet the high expectations put on them. A grid showing the fields of expertise that are relevant to SEAC is enclosed to this document (see the separate Excel-file ‘SEAC Expertise Grid.xls’), and nominees are asked to fill it in showing their level of expertise in each field. Key areas of expertise required The three key areas of specialised expertise required by the Committee are:

 Economics, in particular welfare, regulatory, public sector, environmental or health economics;

 Methodologies analysing costs and benefits of regulation, including the analysis of technical feasibility of alternatives and their costs;

 Knowledge about substitution and substances of concern, such as SVHCs. Each of the members of SEAC need to possess the expertise and the English-language skills necessary for actively participating in drafting, commenting on and discussing opinions on proposals for restrictions and applications for authorisation. Support for members’ activities In accordance with Article 85(6) of the REACH Regulation, Member States are obliged to support the SEAC members by providing adequate scientific and technical resources to them. A 50% time commitment is required from all SEAC members who share their responsibilities, which include acting as dossier (co-)rapporteurs, contributing to the discussions at SEAC with timely comments (both in writing in response to consultations on opinions and other documents, and verbally during the plenaries), and participating in other SEAC activities such as working groups. Reimbursement When attending meetings in person, ECHA reimburses the travel and accommodation expenses and pays a subsistence allowance to the members. Where relevant, ECHA remunerates the rapporteur and co-rapporteur for the work undertaken in line with the rules adopted by the Management Board (MB/41/2020).

Annex 5

3(3)

5 Further considerations SEAC meetings are held four times a year, typically for up to 2 weeks, and the provisional dates are published on the Committee pages of the ECHA website at least a year in advance. The actual number and duration of meetings will naturally depend on the workload of the Committee. A proportion of the meetings of SEAC will be held in person, with a significant proportion taking place remotely. Considering the above, it is estimated that the SEAC member should expect to work half time with SEAC-related issues in the coming three years.
