Next ENES meeting in May - send us your ideas
The fourth meeting of the Exchange Network on Exposure Scenarios (ENES) will be held from 16 to 17 May 2013 in Helsinki. ENES4 will discuss the progress made with exposure scenarios, for example with regard to exposure estimates for consumer use and the ESCom package for electronic communication of exposure scenario information. Stakeholders are invited to contribute to the programme by identifying examples and case studies representing good practice as well as points for the ENES4 agenda on exposure scenarios that need to be tackled. Please send your ideas to us by 2 April 2013. Instructions are available on the event page. ECHA's Stakeholders' Day - online registration has closed

ON THE WEB Register now - Webinar: Preliminary study on the use of five cobalt salts
The aim of the webinar is to explain the restriction procedure relating to five cobalt salts (cobalt sulphate, cobalt dichloride, cobalt dinitrate, cobalt carbonate and cobalt diacetate) and how the preliminary study on the uses of these cobalt salts conducted by ECHA contributes to it. ECHA publishes a project description on characterisation, chemical representation and modelling of UVCB substances
Substances of unknown or variable composition, complex reaction products or biological materials, also known as UVCBs under REACH, pose a great challenge in many REACH processes. The document, produced by an external contractor, gives more information about a project to develop a computational methodology for generating representative structures likely to be present in the UVCB and to perform a preliminary screening of their hazardous properties using non-testing methods.
