NeRSAP
Network of REACH SEA and Analysis of Alternatives practitioners (NeRSAP)
In 2013, this network was set up to exchange on advances and review of concepts, methods and experiences focussed on practical concepts for Socio-economic Analysis (SEA) and Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) on EU-wide or national chemicals management implementation. It was set up in collaboration between ECHA, Member States and stakeholders from industry and NGOs.
Meetings/workshops are organised and open for any SEA and AoA practitioners who have built/demonstrated practical experience in developing cases, concepts and methodologies to anticipate/implement obligations related to REACH Authorisation and Restriction cases or other EU or national chemicals management requirements.
