Overall aim: to promote the development, assessment, acceptance<br />

and implementation <strong>of</strong> computer-based methods potentially suitable<br />

for the regulatory assessment <strong>of</strong> chemicals<br />

Applications: REACH, Water Framework Directive, Cosmetics<br />

Directive, Biocides Directive, Plant Protection Products Directive<br />

Main approaches: SAR, <strong>QSAR</strong>, molecular modelling, ranking<br />

Computational methods provide information for use in hazard and<br />

risk assessment → “non-testing” or alternative methods<br />
