In 2005 environmental information was published for the first two groups of substances in www.fass.se, to test a new model for classification, developed on an initiative from LIF (The Research-Based Pharmaceutical Industry in Sweden). The initiative was a response to an increasing public demand for environmental information on pharmaceuticals and an attempt to develop a model accepted by Swedish stakeholders, but also by the global pharmaceutical industry. In 2010, all groups of pharmaceuticals (ATC codes) on the Swedish market had been the subject of an environmental risk assessment. The review of pre-published environmental risk assessments and system evaluation is an on-going task and the present report describes the experiences from the review process during the year 2014. With its iterative process, IVL gives feedback to LIF regarding the system as such, both from a scientific perspective as well as from a quality assurance perspective. Den här rapporten finns endast på engelska. Svensk sammanfattning finns i rapporten.
