ECHA Scientific Committees

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Scientific Committees are expert groups that advise ECHA and the European Union on chemical safety. They assess scientific data about chemicals to determine risks and safe uses, helping ensure consumer and environmental protection. Comprising specialists in toxicology, environmental science, and related fields, these committees provide independent, evidence-based recommendations that guide regulations, business practices, and public health policies within the EU. Their work helps balance technological innovation with safety considerations in chemical management.
