In 2015, the SAICM community welcomed the Chemicals in Products programme as a means to progress action on information needed to manage chemicals, contained in manufactured products and proposed cooperative actions to address gaps in the current levels of information access. Work is focused on thepriority product categories of electronics, toys, building products and textiles.To date, documentation of hazardous chemicals often does not exist, and even when information about chemicals in products is available, it is often not made available outside supply chains or used for sound management.
