International Council of Chemical Associations
The International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) is a council of leading trade associations representing chemical manufacturers worldwide. The ICCA provides a forum for regular meetings of executives from the member associations to discuss policy issues of international interest to the chemical industry. In addition, the ICCA may make policy statements or develop programs where consensus is reached among the council's member associations. The purpose of the ICCA is to exchange views among members, to coordinate action by council members, and to present an international chemical industry view to organizations. Such organizations would primarily be inter-governmental agencies (e.g., GATT/WTO, IMO, UNEP, OECD and international private organizations (e.g., the International Standards Organization, ISO). Policy issues of international significance to the chemical manufacturing industry form the agenda of the ICCA.
