The Partnership for Chemicals Risk Assessment (PARC) is currently under development as a joint research and innovation programme to strengthen the scientific basis for chemical risk assessment in the EU. The plan is to bring chemical risk assessors and managers together with scientists to accelerate method development and the production of necessary data and knowledge, and to facilitate the transition to next-generation evidence-based risk assessment, a non-toxic environment and the European Green Deal. The NORMAN Network is an independent, well-established and competent network of more than 80 organisations in the field of emerging substances and has enormous potential to contribute to the implementation of the PARC partnership. NORMAN stands ready to provide expert advice to PARC, drawing on its long experience in the development, harmonisation and testing of advanced tools in relation to chemicals of emerging concern and in support of a European Early Warning System to unravel the risks of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and close the gap between research and innovation and regulatory processes. In this commentary we highlight the tools developed by NORMAN that we consider most relevant to supporting the PARC initiative: (i) joint data space and cutting-edge research tools for risk assessment of contaminants of emerging concern; (ii) collaborative European framework to improve data quality and comparability; (iii) advanced data analysis tools for a European early warning system and (iv) support to national and European chemical risk assessment thanks to harnessing, combining and sharing evidence and expertise on CECs. By combining the extensive knowledge and experience of the NORMAN network with the financial and policy-related strengths of the PARC initiative, a large step towards the goal of a non-toxic environment can be taken.

NORMAN协会和欧洲化学品风险评估伙伴关系（PARC）：让我们合作吧！

目前，作为联合研究与创新计划，正在开发化学品风险评估合作伙伴关系（PARC），以加强欧盟化学品风险评估的科学基础。该计划旨在将化学风险评估人员和管理人员与科学家们召集在一起，以加快方法开发以及必要数据和知识的产生，并促进向下一代循证风险评估，无毒环境和欧洲绿色环保的过渡。交易。NORMAN网络是新兴物质领域由80多个组织组成的独立，完善且称职的网络，具有巨大的潜力，可为实施PARC伙伴关系做出贡献。NORMAN随时准备利用其长期的开发经验向PARC提供专家建议，协调和测试与新兴关注的化学品有关的先进工具，并支持欧洲预警系统，以揭示新兴关注的污染物（CEC）的风险，并缩小研究与创新与监管流程之间的差距。在这篇评论中，我们重点介绍了由NORMAN开发的工具，我们认为这些工具与支持PARC计划最相关：（i）联合数据空间和尖端研究工具，用于对正在受到关注的污染物进行风险评估；（ii）欧洲合作框架，以提高数据质量和可比性；（iii）用于欧洲预警系统的高级数据分析工具，以及（iv）通过利用，合并和共享CEC的证据和专业知识，支持国家和欧洲的化学风险评估。
