ECETOC workshop to explain TRA version 3

The European Centre for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology (ECETOC) is to hold a workshop on 3 May in Brussels to present the new third version of its Targeted Risk Assessment (TRA) Tool and explain how it differs from the second version.

In a press release, ECETOC says:

"Since its launch in 2004, the ECETOC Targeted Risk Assessment Tool has proved to be an overwhelming success and the new version 3 will be released in the coming weeks along with updated user guides to reflect the changes.  At the same time, ECHA has signalled its intent to update its Chesar CSA/ES tool.  In this respect, updates to the worker and consumer tools are being developed in close co-operation with ECHA, who intend to incorporate the two human health components of the TRA into the new Chesar version 2.  In addition to these two components, a spreadsheet implementation of EUSES is included in the integrated part of the TRA to facilitate environmental assessments.  The integrated part of the TRA is also being updated. These new versions are currently being tested against the TRAv2 and other exposure models."

Participation will cost €200 per person.
