We have used the responses from this consultation to review and determine whether the EALs consulted on are appropriate for publishing. The information we have received has led us to conclude that we should proceed with publication of 6 of the 7 EALs consulted on immediately; we are still assessing further evidence provided on aminomethylpropan-1-ol (AMP) so this is currently excluded from the updated EALs for further review.
We will publish on GOV.UK the new EAL values for the substances for which the evidence has shown we can proceed and start to use the new EALs in our regulatory activities.
Responses will also help us to determine how much of an impact the derived EALs and the derivation of future EALs will have on relevant parties.
