Right, but is that not done by filling out a questionnaire that is
somehow administered/rated by IARC, which presumably means that they
need to be paid for providing that somewhere along the line (or is it
all government funded?).

Also, IARC claim to keep ratings under review, which presumably also
needs to be paid for somehow.

I was guessing that they collect subscriptions from the platforms to
cover the costs.

Cheers, Phil.
