The guidance documents are intended to be available for regulators and advisors as they carry out their decision-making and for developers and consultants as they prepare consenting and licensing applications. They are not intended to replace any regulatory requirements or prescribe action for a particular risk. This document is intended to be read in conjunction with the background document.
The stressor-specific documents have been developed from the evidence bases and engagement with the MRE community to provide an overview of the scientific information that is known for each stressor-receptor interaction and the status of risk retirement for each.
