The HBM4EU Project Handbook is accessible here:
A very useful document only for internal use for the consortium members. It has two main functions. Firstly, it acts as a reference source for all Consortium members covering many of the day-to-day activities and providing links to further information where required. Secondly, it aims to standardize various elements of the project e.g. project reports, deliverables, file naming conventions etc. through the use of agreed procedures and templates where relevant. This Handbook is a living document and will be updated regularly throughout the project. It is uploaded under the WP folder “Scientific and administrative management”. Please note: This handbook is for internal use only.

EFSA/ECHA Public Consultation on Draft Guidance Document for identifying endocrine disruptors
Dear Colleagues,
EFSA and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) are inviting interested parties to comment on the draft guidance document for identifying endocrine disruptors under EU legislation for pesticides and biocides. This draft guidance, which was requested by the European Commission, has been developed by the two agencies with the support of the Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).
Earlier this year EFSA and ECHA conducted two targeted consultations on initial versions of the draft guidance with experts representing Member States and with stakeholders from industry and NGOs. Numerous comments were received and taken into account in a revised version of the guidance.
Following discussions with the European Commission, EFSA and ECHA are now inviting all interested parties to comment on the updated draft text by using the dedicated web form. The deadline for providing comments is 31 January 2018.
You can find the details on the public consultation using the following link: http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/press/news/171207

Disclaimer
The HBM4EU project was launched in 2016 with the aim of improving the collective understanding of human exposure to hazardous chemicals and developing HBM as an exposure assessment method. The project had €74m in funding and jointly implemented by 120 partners from 28 participating countries – 24 EU member states plus Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Israel and the European Environment Agency. One of its aims was to ensure the sustainability of HBM in the EU beyond 2021. The project ended in June 2022. The website will not be updated any longer, except the page on peer reviewed publications, but will be online until 2032.
