  1. Development of the inventories of the new POPs: methodology By: Jacqueline Alvarez Secretariat of the Stockholm Convention Modified by: Carmela Centeno UNIDO

  2. Basis for prioritization, action plan development & management strategies. Assessment of the current country situation It provide a basis for the reporting obligations. Identify information gaps Need for further financial or technical support. Objectives of POPs inventories

  3. Know where to find relevant information! • NIPs Guidance package • General Guidance Documents • Supporting documents • Resources available • Webinars • Inventory Guidance Documents

  11. Step 1: Planning of the inventory 3.1.3: Define inventory objectives and scope 3.1.1: Establish a national inventory team 3.1.2: Identify key stakeholders * might require revisits 3.1.4: Develop the work plan for the national inventory Step 2: Choosing data collection methodologies Tiered approach Step 3: Collecting and compiling data from sectors Industry sector Consumer market Wastes, stockpiles and contaminated sites Step 4: Managing and evaluating data Step 5: Preparing an inventory report Fire-fighting foams, pesticides and aviation hydraulic fluids

  12. Structure of the inventory guidance documents

  13. STEPS TO CONDUCT A POP-PBDE INVENTORY Step 1: Planning the inventory Identify key stakeholders Define inventory scope Develop the work plan Establish national inventory team Step 2: Choosing data collection methodologies Tiered approach Step 3: Collecting and compiling data from key sectors Other uses (e.g. furniture, mattresses, textiles) EEE in use, stocks, in recycling and waste Transport sector and end-of-life vehicles Contaminated sites Step 4: Managing and evaluating the data Step 5: Preparing the inventory report

  14. STEPS TO CONDUCT A PFOS INVENTORY Step 1: Planning of the inventory Define inventory objectives/scope Establish national inventory team Identify key stakeholders Develop work plan national Inventory Step 2: Choosing data collection methodologies Tiered approach Step 3: Collecting and compiling data from sectors Industry sector Consumer market Wastes, stock piles Contaminated sites Step 4: Managing and evaluating data Step 5: Preparing an inventory report Fire-fighting foams, pesticides and aviation hydraulic fluids

  15. Identification/control of new POPs in the life cycle stages and role of stakeholders

  16. Step 1 – Planning of the Inventory • National inventory team: e.g. National EPA, Food Agency and Customs w/project leader in EPA (The National focal point) • Identification of key stakeholders • Tools: • National registers/phone books • Web search • Interviews, e-mails, • Strategy for contact in this stage could be: • Preliminary consultations with larger stakeholders • Stakeholder group meetings for key focal areas

  17. Step 1 – Planning of the Inventory 3. Objectives and scope: Aviation hydraulic fluids Import/export articles and chemicals Textiles and furnitures Fire-fighting foams Waste Contaminated sites Stockpiles Examples of focal sectors

  18. Step 1 – Planning of the Inventory 4. Workplan: Example w/ sub project on XXX sector Responsible: Identified Experts/ Consultants together w NIT Identified Experts/ Consultants Identified Experts/ Consultants National inventory team (NIT) 2 months 5 months 6 months 1 month

  19. Step 2 – Choosing Methodology for data collection(Tiered approach) Resources (including. technical) Outputs/results Desk study, consultations with stakeholders, information from customs Overview of focal sectors/ Definition of scope Complexity of inventory TIER I Initial Assessment

  20. Step 2 – Choosing Methodology for data collection(Tiered approach) Resources (including. technical) Outputs/results Quantifications/Screening: Detailed understanding of problems in key sectors Site visits, sampling and analysis, Quantification; Scale of problems in key sectors / data gaps Data collection from identified stakeholders Desk study, consultations with stakeholders, information from customs Overview of focal sectors/ Definition of scope Complexity of inventory TIER I Initial Assessment TIER III In depth inventory TIER II Preliminary inventory

  21. Step 3 – Collecting and compiling data from sectors Methodology for data collection • The inventory needs to investigate: - Production in the country • Industries using chemicals • Products and articles - Professional users - Waste fraction /stockpiles /contaminated sites • Focal sectors to investigate • Legal framework: exists?

  22. Step 4 – Managing and evaluating the data Data management Templates Examples Mechanismforevaluatingtheinventory • To identify • gaps and limitations and measures needed to complete the inventory • if the obligations under the SC are fulfilled and the necessary actions needed to fulfill them • the need of notification to the registers of acceptable purposes and specific exemptions under the Convention • The evaluation will be the basis for updating the NIP and development of an Action Plan for the POP • Gaps, limitations and necessary actions will be valuable information in the NIP, and can be necessary for applying for funds

  23. Evaluation and validation of inventories • The collected data can be evaluated and validated by presenting it to national stakeholders and experts and possibly at international platforms (e.g. regional workshops) for getting feedback. • Assessment of inventories by external review of the data. • Plausibility considerations: For several of the newly listed POPs total historic production volumes and and/or current production volumes are known. The developed inventories can be compared against these numbers for a plausibility check. • Measured data from own monitoring effort or information from other monitoring studies can be used for validation purpose. • Material and substance flow analysis: MFA/SFA can help to validate inventories developed for the newly listed POPs along their life cycle. • Also comparison with inventories of other countries can contribute to the evaluation and validation process.

  24. Step 5 – Preparing an inventory report The essential elements of the report: • Objectives and scope • Description of data methodology used and how data were gathered • Final results of the inventory in each sector considered a priority for that country (using a format to be provided in the guidelines, as such or adapted from that format) • Results of the gap-analysis and limitations identified for completion of the inventory • Further actions (e.g. stakeholder involvement, data collection strategies) to be taken to complete the inventory and recommendations. Other information (e.g. stakeholder list), depending on the national requirements, could be included in the report.
