Dear Sir/Madam,
With this e-mail, you are invited to (re-)nominate your Member State’s representative/s in the European Chemicals Agency’s Committees for Risk Assessment (RAC) and Socio-Economic Analysis (SEAC). The attached letter and annexes explain the nomination process, documentation required, and background information on the type of expertise sought for the RAC and SEAC members.
On behalf of ECHA, we would like to express our encouragement to the Member State Competent Authorities to continue to support the work of the members of these bodies, which have a continuously increasing workload.
Yours faithfully,
Tim Bowmer / Chair of RAC
Maria Ottati / Chair of SEAC

Subject: Renewal and new membership of ECHA Committees RAC and SEAC
Dear Sir/Madam,
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is launching the process for (re)nominating
candidates for membership of the Committees for Risk Assessment (RAC) and Socio-
economic Analysis (SEAC).1
The names of the current members whose term of office is about to end are listed in Annex
1 and the full list of vacancies is contained in Annex 2.
To support Member States in selecting the most appropriate candidates, we attach
background documents (Annexes 4 and 5) that describe the two Committees of ECHA with
respect to their tasks, role of members and ways of operation. The background documents
also specify the current needs of the Committees in terms of scientific expertise.
Members are expected to provide at least 50% of their time to the work of the Committees
and the nominating authority, on behalf of the member’s employer, guarantees this by
signing Annex 3 of the nomination papers. With responsibilities as rapporteur, this can rise
to 70-80% of the member’s time, particularly in RAC. All members of RAC and SEAC are
required to take on the crucial role of rapporteur and draft the scientific opinion of the
Committee on specific cases. Commenting on draft opinions circulated for Committee
consultation is also an important ongoing task.
Prior to submitting the (re-)nomination documents, the nominating authority/employer is
strongly recommended to liaise with the Chairs of RAC and SEAC, respectively, to discuss
suitable profiles for candidates being nominated for the first time and to discuss the
performance of candidates (current members) proposed for re-nomination:
Chair of RAC:
[email protected]
Chair of SEAC:
[email protected]
A phone interview with the respective Chair will be organized for all new candidates;
nominations will only be forwarded for consideration by the Management Board of the
Agency once this has successfully been completed and the Chairs are satisfied as to the
qualifications and availability of the nominees.
1. Practicalities
You are kindly invited to submit your nominations and supporting documents no later
than 8 November 2022 to
[email protected].
Nominations must come through the Permanent Representation/Mission to the EU. This is
to be done preferably by forwarding to ECHA, via email the nomination form (Annex 3)
signed by the Member State Competent Authority (MSCA). Supporting documents can be
provided directly to ECHA by the nominee or MSCA.

Supporting documents for renewal of current membership
Annexes 4-7 only if there is a need for an update, otherwise the previously

2. Independence of members
The appointing authority is invited to read the ECHA policy on Prevention and Management
of potential Conflicts of Interest and in particular its Annex 2 on the Eligibility criteria for
candidates for membership in the ECHA bodies and for key positions in the ECHA
Secretariat.
3. Publication of personal data2
ECHA will process any personal data received in accordance with ECHA’s privacy rules.
Please note that the list of nominees, the membership of the Committees, professional
qualifications and Declaration of Interests of the members shall be made public on the
Agency’s website.
If you have any questions, please contact the Committees Secretariat at: committees-
