Working Groups
The commission consists of working groups that prepare the proposals for the MAK values, BAT values including BLWs (biological values that serve as indicators for necessary protective measures) and EKA (exposure equivalents for carcinogenic materials), and classifications as carcinogenic, germ cell mutagenic, sensitizing, percutaneously absorbable or having an effect during pregnancy. Further working groups are involved in developing and evaluating methods to analyse the air at the workplace and in biological materials.
Within the working groups, the members of the commission are assisted by numerous guests and ad hoc experts on specific topics.
