Your substance is listed in Annex VI of the CLP Regulation and therefore has a harmonized classification. How can I find this ranking? What are your obligations? How does this affect the classification of your mixtures? How can you track your progress?
In terms of substances, the "harmonized" and "proposed" classifications in the REACH registration dossier differ. You must compare the two to determine the regulatory classification of your substance. Your substance is listed in Annex VI of the CLP Regulation and therefore has a harmonized classification. It has also been registered, and its registration dossier indicates a classification that differs from the harmonized one. Which one should you choose? On what basis should this decision be made? Do you have any specific obligations to fulfill?
You have a stock of chemical substances. You are wondering what your obligations are under REACH regulations regarding the substances you have in stock and their placement on the European market. An analysis of your situation is necessary. Chemical regulations establish requirements based on the intended use of chemicals, including manufacturing and importing. If you are a manufacturer or supplier, you have a stock of the substance. Do you have any obligations regarding inventory? Can you bring it to market? Do you need to register this substance?
You import chemicals into Europe. You are wondering whether this import requires you to comply with the registration requirements under REACH. A detailed analysis of the import conditions is necessary. The REACH Regulation sets out certain obligations for those responsible for placing chemicals on the market or manufacturing them. What about imports? Does that count as placing a product on the market? Are there specific cases of placing a product on the market related to imports?
You are considering diversifying your suppliers for several of your chemical products. You are wondering whether this diversification might entail new obligations regarding the marketing of these chemical products, and whether it is beneficial to have multiple suppliers. An analysis of the origin of your products is necessary. The REACH Regulation sets out certain obligations for those responsible for placing chemicals on the market or manufacturing them within the European Economic Area. By diversifying your suppliers, can you be both the entity responsible for placing your products on the market and a downstream user? What will be the consequences?
You are in the process of switching suppliers for several of your chemical products and are wondering whether new requirements related to these purchases will affect you. An analysis of the origin of your products is necessary. The REACH Regulation sets out certain obligations for those responsible for placing chemicals on the market or manufacturing them within the European Economic Area. If you switch suppliers, do you become responsible for the first placing on the market of the substances in your products? Are you just a downstream user? What information should you provide to your supplier to clearly identify who is responsible?
In a context of raw materials shortage, awareness of a need for environmental protection, and pressure from regulations, the chemical industry is showing a growing interest in biosolvents made from renewable raw materials. Bio-based solvents offer an alternative to fossil resources, preventing health, safety and environmental hazards. After a reminder of the background to the solvents market, this paper presents the main biosolvent categories known for their industrial applications, and the different strategies for the design and selection of biosolvents meeting given specifications.
Producers and importers of a chemical substance must define DMELs in the REACh dossier in order to protect workers, consumers, and the general population potentially exposed to the chemical substance from mutagenic and carcinogenic risks. DMELs must be defined for several types of populations: workers, consumers, and humans via the environment. This fact sheet will help you understand how DMELs are calculated and defined, as well as their impact on the substance to which they apply.
Sensitization to a chemical substance occurs after repeated exposure to low doses over a period of time. Sensitization reactions (allergies) occur unexpectedly upon subsequent accidental exposure to the sensitizing substance. Tests on laboratory animals follow the same pattern: induction –latency period– triggering, followed by the rating of effects. It is also important to know how to use sensitization tests and be able to interpret the results of studies in order to recognize and evaluate the allergenic potential of a chemical substance for humans. Official tests for detecting the sensitizing potential of a substance must therefore be chosen with care, and their results are important for the classification of the substance. What tests are available and how should they be interpreted?
Technological risk prevention encompasses all measures that can be implemented to reduce the likelihood of an accident occurring and its consequences. It is based on four tools: risk control at source by the operator; controlling urbanization (moving populations away from danger); the organization of emergency services; public information. As part of national toxic risk assessments for technological risk prevention plans (PPRT) and the SEVESO Directive (SEVESO 3, 2012), health agencies define guideline values intended to protect the population in the event of exposure to chemical substances. This fact sheet will help you understand how VTRs are calculated and defined, as well as their industrial impact.
