Division 3 Exposure characterisationF1
United Kingdom
The likelihood or probability of each identified potential adverse effect occurring shall be evaluated to provide, where possible, a quantitative assessment of the exposure as a relative measure of probability, or otherwise a qualitative assessment of the exposure. The characteristics of the receiving environment(s) and the scope of the notification shall be taken into consideration.
Where the evaluation is expressed in qualitative terms, a categorical description ( ‘ high ’ , ‘ moderate ’ , ‘ low ’ or ‘ negligible ’ ) of the exposure shall be used and an explanation of the scale of effect represented by each category shall be provided.
