The current report aims to provide a synthesis of the principal findings related to information systems on chemicals in products from the activities referred to above and in particular the four sector case studies and the Sector-expert Consultation, to identify some common concerns as highlighted by those case studies and to suggest a way forward for the project.

Providing appropriate and complete information is a very challenging task given the various needs of the stakeholders along both the production chain and the product lifecycle. These range from meeting regulatory requirements, occupational health and safety, environmental and public health considerations, public health protection, end-of-life treatment and waste management. Each of these aspects might be covered within each stage of the production chain hence the information transmitted must be user-friendly for each of the stages.
