SAICM

SAICM – Strategic Approach into International Chemical Management is a global initiative adopted at the International Conference on Chemicals Management held in Dubai from February 4-6, 2006 and it provides a global framework for countries aiming to achieve the WSSD goal of sound chemicals management by 2020. SAICM is comprised of a High Level Declaration (the Dubai Declaration on International Chemicals Management), an Overarching Policy Strategy, and a Global Plan of Action.

The core objective of the sound management of chemicals

The objective of the sound management of chemicals is to apply managerial best practices to chemicals throughout their life cycle to prevent, and, where this is not possible, to reduce or minimize the potential for exposure of people and the environment to toxic and hazardous chemicals (i.e. through polluting emissions, use, disposal, etc.). This requires strengthened governance, and improved techniques and technologies in the production, use, storage, and disposal or recovery of chemicals.
