IOMC and SAICM
IOMC was a co-convenor, together with UNEP and IFCS, of the first International Conference on Chemical Safety (ICCM) held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2006 that finalized and endorsed the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM).
During the first ICCM in February 2006, the nine Executive Heads of agencies cooperating in the IOMC issued a Joint Statement about their participation in the implementation of the SAICM.
Implementation tables for the “Overall Orientation and Guidance for Achieving the 2020 Goal” (OOG)
IOMC plays a key role in the implementation of government-mandated priorities agreed for SAICM.
In response to the endorsement of the OOG at ICCM-4, the IOMC organizations, as well as the BRS Secretariat, IAEA, and UNECE, completed the implementation
tables for the “Overall Orientation and Guidance for Achieving the 2020 Goal” (OOG) which provide detailed information regarding planned actions to implement the OOG and set out action points that will assist in the prioritization
of SAICM implementation efforts towards 2020.

The IOMC organizations are also actively involved in the SAICM emerging policy issues agreed upon at ICCM2 in May 2009.
Some IOMC organizations have developed their own web pages about SAICM, highlighting the issues of particular importance to their sectors and mandates.
