REACH places new requirements on the information on the conditions for safe use of chemicals or mixtures in the supply chain. For providing information on the conditions of safe use of chemicals or mixtures are liable: manufacturers, importers and downstream users.
Under REACH, the use of a chemical substance or mixture means any activity which is a potential source of direct danger to health of employees, customers, consumers and the environment (eg manufacturing, formulation, filling, coating, packaging, storage, waste disposal etc.).
The new requirements apply only to substances as such or mixtures meeting the criteria for classification as dangerous according to Directive 67/548/EEC or meet the criteria for PBT or (14 (4) of REACH) or substances of very high concern (SVHC) (REACH Article 31).
The main communication tool is a safety data sheet (SDS), which will be extended for the substance or mixture with detailed exposure scenarios, which describe the operational conditions and risk management measures, to control the risks for all identified uses.
Duties of manufacturers, importers and downstream users:
If you are using substances classified as dangerous or meeting the criteria as PBT or SVHC or you are obliged to notify ECHA your use and conditions for safe use of chemicals or mixtures in the supply chain.
