Acute Dietary Risk Assessment
246. Following earlier discussions on risk analysis, the Chairman proposed that the Committee should reflect further on the issues related to acute exposure assessment, especially the policy to be followed by CCPR when the acute dietary exposure exceeds the RfD, in order to facilitate the selection of appropriate risk management options. Also the feasibility of developing probabolistic methodology at international level should be explored.
247. The Delegations of the United States and the Netherlands, in view of their advanced experience in the development of acute dietary exposure assessment agreed to develop a discussion paper for consideration by the next session of the Committee. The Delegation of Australia and the Observers of CI and GCPF agreed to assist in the preparation of that paper, in order to provide guidance to the Committee in this area.
