In 2005, the European Commission funded the NORMAN project to promote a permanent network of reference laboratories and research centers, including academia, industry, standardization bodies, and NGOs. Since then, NORMAN has (i) facilitated a more rapid and wide-scope exchange of data on the occurrence and effects of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), (ii) improved data quality and comparability via validation and harmonization of common sampling and measurement methods (chemical and biological), (iii) provided more transparent information and monitoring data on CECs, and (iv) established an independent and competent forum for the technical/scientific debate on issues related to emerging substances. NORMAN plays a significant role as an independent organization at the interface between science and policy, with the advantage of speaking to the European Commission and other public institutions with the "bigger voice" of more than 70 members from 20 countries. This article provides a summary of the first 10 years of the NORMAN network. It takes stock of the work done so far and outlines NORMAN's vision for a Europe-wide collaboration on CECs and sustainable links from research to policy-making. It contains an overview of the state of play in prioritizing and monitoring emerging substances with reference to several innovative technologies and monitoring approaches. It provides the point of view of the NORMAN network on a burning issue-the regulation of CECs-and presents the positions of various stakeholders in the field (DG ENV, EEA, ECHA, and national agencies) who participated in the NORMAN workshop in October 2016. The main messages and conclusions from the round table discussions are briefly presented.
2005年，欧盟委员会资助了诺曼项目，以促进建立一个由参考实验室和研究中心组成的永久性网络，其中包括学术界、产业界、标准化机构和非政府组织。自那时以来，诺曼项目已：（i）推动了关于新出现的关注污染物（CECs）的发生情况和影响的数据更快速、更广泛地交流；（ii）通过对通用采样和测量方法（化学和生物方法）进行验证和统一，提高了数据质量和可比性；（iii）提供了关于CECs的更透明的信息和监测数据；（iv）建立了一个独立且有能力的论坛，用于就与新出现物质相关的问题进行技术/科学辩论。诺曼作为一个独立组织，在科学与政策的交汇点发挥着重要作用，其优势在于能够以来自20个国家的70多名成员的“更强声音”与欧盟委员会和其他公共机构对话。本文总结了诺曼网络的头10年。它评估了迄今为止所做的工作，并概述了诺曼对欧洲范围内关于CECs的合作以及从研究到政策制定的可持续联系的愿景。文中概述了在利用多种创新技术和监测方法对新出现物质进行优先排序和监测方面的进展情况。它提供了诺曼网络对一个紧迫问题——CECs的监管——的观点，并介绍了该领域各利益相关方（环境总司、欧洲环境局、欧洲化学品管理局和国家机构）在2016年10月参加诺曼研讨会时的立场。文中简要介绍了圆桌讨论的主要信息和结论。
