The development of uniform legal standards typically involves collaboration between various stakeholders, including:
1. Government Agencies: Regulatory bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S. and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) play a significant role. 2. Industry Groups: Organizations such as the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the International Catalysis Society contribute by providing industry-specific insights. 3. Academic Institutions: Universities and research institutes often lead the way in developing new testing methods and safety protocols. 4. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): Groups focused on environmental and worker safety issues can also influence the development of standards.
