ECHA Sixth Stakeholders Day
The European Chemicals Agency organised its Sixth Stakeholders' Day on 18 May 2011, in the Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre (Messukeskus).
The Stakeholders' Day is the largest external event of the Agency. It enables participants to be informed about ECHA's activities and news; to share views and expectations; to receive training on REACH & CLP processes; and to ask questions.
In addition to the main event, a day of training (17 May) on the Chesar tool was organised at ECHA premises. Further information about this session is available on the training page.

Training day programme - 17 May
In conjunction with the Sixth Stakeholders' Day, we organised an in-depth training session on 17 May at the ECHA conference centre. The training day focused entirely on the Chemical Safety Assessment and Reporting tool (Chesar). It provided an overview of the functionalities to carry out a Chemical Safety Assessment for a "simple case" and a demonstration on how the information is then reported in the Chemical Safety Report.
