The European Commission requested the SCOEL to produce a Recommendation on

mandate has been issued on 2016-12-12 and the deadline is 2017-02-28.
The REC-136 was updated, but was not adopted in the presented form by the
members during the plenary. The predominant issue was that the set of OELs
including the TWA and the BLV would require to be implemented together in order to
serve the needs for protection of workers at the workplace. It was otherwise accepted
that the airborne value(s) would be adjusted by a correspondingly appropriate
additional uncertainty factor of minimum four as justified scientifically and in detail in
the OPIN document.
SCOEL accepted this document now called OPIN-336. In its edited version it describes
the needs in addition to the updated analysis as presented in the document REC-136
draft during this meeting SCOEL-100.

2. Presentations: Purpose/advantages of BM
3. The HBM4EU project
4. Presentation/proposal for ISBM-10 including
the session on BLV/BGV where the different
topics will be discussed in full context.
The topic of biomonitoring was presented and discussed
from the different angles. It becomes clear that there is also
an added value and a need to put forward BLVs for
carcinogens at the workplace. It is not fully clear, why this
approach was legally not implemented so far as an option.
Scientifically, it is clearly an asset to use BLVs as
appropriate to set OELs also for carcinogens and mutagens
under the CMD, such as in cases, for which a mode of
action-based threshold could be identified and for chemical
agents with significant uptake through the skin.
The topic shall be addressed in detail during the
SCOEL-102 in Naples in a joint session with ICOH and
SCOT, hosted by the Italian Government together
with the University of Naples back2back with the

Methodology document
Discussion, comments, next steps, task attribution
The methodology document was discussed as presented and
concerning frames 1 to 5. The parts and contributions on
biomonitoring were not updated yet and shall be updated
following the meeting based on the contributions presented.
The updated version then will be distributed to the membership
for proposed changes or comments by 17
th
of March at the latest.
The document will be then updated and presented for acceptance
during SCOEL-101 (June 2017).
The frame 6 shall be drafted. Once in an advanced stage it will be
discussed with the WHO group and possibly other stakeholders
and groups in a meeting to be organised by the Secretariat. The
aim is to address this frame during the meetings SCOEL-101 and
SCOEL-102.

Information and Cooperation
Draft Joint Opinion SCOEL-ECHA-RAC on general mandate
'methodology' for comments, proposed changes
The Joint Task Force SCOEL-ECHA-RAC has discussed the issues
in the mandate on methodology during two meetings on 14
th
of
December 2016 and on 18
th
of January 2017. A joint document
was drafted for proposed necessary changes by the Task Force
members and for endorsement by the SCOEL plenary.
A version of the document was presented by the Joint Task Force
SCOEL members. It is based on the version received from ECHA
after the meeting on January 18 with additional necessary
changes by the Joint Task Force members for acceptance and
endorsement by the SCOEL plenary.
The document was discussed in detail. It was not endorsed by the
plenary as presented because several elements were seen to not
appropriately reflect the approaches of SCOEL and specifically the
workplace-specific issues followed by SCOEL. There was
agreement that additional comments and proposed changes would
be collected by the team of the SCOEL Joint Task Force members
by Friday 17
th
of February. The document would be provided by
the Chairman to the Secretariat at that day for finalisation with
