Phase 3 Environmental Standards stakeholder review 2012/13

Following a consultation that ended in June 2012,  UKTAG has finalised Phase 3 of its review of environmental standards. 

The Environmental Standards Phase 3 Final Report (including zinc) was published in November 2013. Some minor amendments have been made since November, detailed in the change log.

The Interim Final Environmental Standards Phase 3 Report (not including zinc) was published in February 2013 following consultation feedback.

UKTAG produced a response to the consultation comments explaining how feedback has been incorporated into the final recommendations.
