That is a good question. In all honesty, it depends. There are two groups of new substances. We have 90 days to do an assessment and reach a conclusion on a new substance, but for substances that are already on the market, there are no set deadlines.
It all depends on the complexity of the assessment. It is easier when the substance is simple and we can obtain information on it. However, the assessment will take longer in the case of a more complex substance about which there is not much information. The time it takes to do the assessment may vary from a few months to two or three years in some cases.
