COM is an Independent Advisory Committee that provides advice to Government Departments and Agencies on matters concerning the potential mutagenicity of chemicals ranging from natural products to new synthetic chemicals used in pesticides or pharmaceuticals.
COM consists of a panel of independent doctors and scientists recruited
for their individual expertise from Universities and Research Institutes
and, in some cases, Industry. During all discussions individuals are required
to declare potential conflicts of interest and in such cases disqualify
themselves from the conclusions reached. The independent members of COM are supported in their work by a joint secretariat provided by the Health Protection Agency and the Food Standards Agency. The secretariat provide members with comprehensive background information and briefing papers upon which rational decisions can be made.
