This website provides information on the Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC), which was established in 1995 to strengthen cooperation and increase coordination in the field of chemical safety.
The IOMC website is divided into sections on the Inter-Organization Coordinating Committee (IOCC) which coordinates and fosters joint planning of the IOMC, the seven Participating Organizations (POs) which contribute to the work of IOMC, Technical Coordinating Groups, and activities undertaken and events held by each PO.
