International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSCs)Participating institutions (PIs)[Back to ICSCs page] [Click here to select and view individual ICSCs by name of chemical] The ICSCs project is an undertaking of the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS). The project is being developed in the context of the cooperation between the IPCS and the Commission of the European Communities. The IPCS is a joint activity of three cooperating international organizations: the International Labour Office (ILO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It was established in 1980 with the aim of implementing activities related to chemical safety.

A fundamental feature of the ICSCs is that they are peer reviewed by a group of scientists. This is considered to be a significant asset of the Cards versus other packages of information on chemicals. ICSCs are originally prepared (written and revised) in English and placed on the Web. Subsequently, national institutions translate the Cards from English into different languages. ICSCs are available on the World Wide Web in different languages. Here is a list of the institutions in the various countries participating in the preparation of ICSCs:
