Description
Summary:The pressures due to new legislation, and demands of customers for increasing amounts of information, have caused a rapid growth in the demand for measurement of physico-chemical properties of chemical substances. These apply both to new substances and older products. The tests required and some of the particular challenges they present are discussed. The article also describes how the authors have been involved in bringing together industry researchers and government authorities in order to aid the achievement of acommon approach and a high standard of data provision
