Executive Summary is the concise document, that provides brief information on some major chemical management system blocks. This document was approved by the Chemical Dialogue members and soon will be available on the Chemical Dialogue website as an official APEC document.

The Survey contributes to lining-up trade relations between economies, facilitates the identification of the possible non-tariff barriers and sharing good regulatory practices. It corresponds to the APEC priority area Strengthening Regional Economic Integration and Quality Growth and supports a goal «to facilitate trade by expanding and supporting regulatory cooperation and mutual recognition in the Region».
