How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work The Safety Data Sheet 1 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Overwiew - 2 New information from REACH for OSH SDS as information tool, new requirements under REACH Specific information requirements in Art. 32 , Art. 33, Art. 34 Recent adaptions of SDS provisions by Reg.(EU) 453/2010 Guidance for extending the SDS Questions from Announcement 409 - identified use - compliance with operational conditions - ES-format, scaling - overprotective ES - ES and CAD - PPE - SDS without annex Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin (s3) (s 4,5,6) (s 7,8,9) (s 10) (s 11) (s 12) (s 13,14) (s 15) (s 16,17) (s 18) (s 19) (s 20) (s 21,22) REACH generates Information (Art.6) Registration to be submitted from 1t/a and manufacturer New: (Art.10) Information resulting from registration - 3 Safety assessments performed by manufacturers Identified uses (incl. manufacture) Substance information from tests (tests depending on tonnage) C&L Guidance on safe use (CSR or according to annex VI(5), consistent with section 4,5,6,7 of SDS plus 8,10,13 of SDS if there is no CSA required CSA and CSR for substances >10t/a and manufacturer (without prejudice to Art. 4 of Directive 98/24) (Art. 14) for dangerous substances: exposure- and risk assessment, resulting in exposure scenarios Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin How to pass on downstream the new REACH Information? First idea: Pass on Chemical Safety Report But: too much paper and additional bureaucracy for DU Better idea: use SDS - 4 SDS is an existing instrument for information transfer SDS structure covers information generated under REACH New REACH information is „condensed“ in the Exposure Scenarios , which could be attached as an annex to the SDS Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin SDS Requirements included in REACH Directive 91/155/EEC repealed (1.7.2007) Art.31 : former SDS Directive amended by REACH specific elements The actor in the supply chain who is required to to carry out a CSA (Art. 14 or 37) shall ensure, that the information in the SDS is consistent with the CSA shall place the relevant ES in an Annex of the SDS Any downstream user shall include ES and use other relevant information when compiling his own SDS (for identified uses) For uses of substances that are not identified by manufacturer see Title V Annex II: Annex I of Directive 91/155/EEC, sufficiently amended by REACH requirements 5 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin SDS have some specific features in the context of REACH SDS: SDS must be provided for any volume placed on the market (most REACH requirements depend on tonnages) SDS must be provided by any member of the supply chain and distributers (while REACH mostly adresses manufacturers and importers) SDS are only provided if a substance or mixture is placed on the market (while REACH also adresses manufacture and import) SDS are only provided if specific (dangerous) properties apply (while REACH-registration adresses any substance) SDS are provided for Substances and mixtures (while REACH adresses only substances and substances in mixtures, but not mixtures as a whole) 6 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin SDS are not the only information in the supply chain Specific provisions also in Art. 32, 33 and 34 For Art. 32 see Question 5.1 of Announcement 409: For what kind of hazardous substances will the employer in future receive "any available and relevant information" according to Article 32 of the REACH Regulation? - for dangerous substances not classified as dangerous but still conveying risks (e.g. asphyxiant gases or cryogenic liquids). - for substances that are not classified because testing has been “waived”. - for substances subject to authorisation or restriction these will normally have SDS 7 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin SDS are not the only information in the supply chain Specific provisions also in Art. 32, 33 and 34 For Art. 33 see Question 5.5 of Announcement 409: What information on articles does the employer receive? Any supplier of an article has to inform his recipient (not a consumer) – about > 0.1 % of SVHC substances in the article – provide sufficient information for safe use of the article – as a minimum, the name of that substance – no prescribed format The majority of dangerous substances set free in the workplace (from articles or chemicals) is not covered The employer must gather additional information for risk assessment 8 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin SDS are not the only information in the supply chain Specific provisions also in Art. 32, 33 and 34 For Art. 34 see Section 4 of Announcement 409: Risk management measures according to the safety data sheet vs. protection measures according to (workplace) risk assessment If the downstream user who uses a substance or mixture calls into question the appropriateness of the risk management measures described in the safety data sheet for an identified use, he has to pass on that information to the next actor up the supply chain. He shall also pass on new information hazardous properties He need not react to any inconsistencies in SDS 9 Art.34 applies also to mixtures, not only to substances! Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Art.34 applies to all SDS not only to eSDS Recent changes in SDS provisions: Regulation (EU) 453/2010 Aims: Adaption to CLP 1272/2008 Adaption to Annex 4 of GHS „GUIDANCE ON THE PREPARATION OFSAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS)“ Little (or no?): new information with relevance to employers No details on eSDS: format and contents of the extension of the SDS is developed in Guidance Documents and IT-tools 10 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Guidance and tools for extending the SDS Announced for 2011, will not deal with extension http://chesar.echa.europa.eu/documents 11 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Announcement 409 http://www.baua.de/en/Topics-from-A-to-Z/Hazardous-Substances/TRGS/pdf/Announcement-409.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=2 12 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin What is the respective meaning of the terms "use" and "identified use"? Question 1.6 of Announcement 409 Both terms are defined in Article 3 of the REACH Regulation. • Regardless registration or not, the uses of the substance/mixture have to be listed under 1.2 of the SDS • Only those that are relevant to the recipient of the safety data sheet. • There is no prescribed system for the description • For extended SDS (eSDS) information in 1.2 must be consistent with information in the annexed ES New in Regulation (EU) 453/2010 : „identified use is“ the only term, uses advised against included in 1.2 Draft Guidance on SDS proposes to indicate whether use advised against • • • 13 is statutory (relevant for Art. 37 for substances with CSA) non statutory on the basis of Annex VI 3.7 (registered without CSA) non statutory recommendation (technical reasons and/or mixtures) Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Identified use defined by Use Descriptor-System Guidance R12 (new version March 2010) Example Toluene 1.

December 2010, Berlin How can it be checked whether the operational conditions (OC) of the exposure scenario are fulfilled? Question 1.6 of Announcement 409 Operational conditions are described by - several parameters for exposure (e.g. amounts used, concentration, temperature, frequency) and - additional risk management measures differing conditions may be compensated by changing parameters or measures: “scaling” is described in the guidance on REACH (Guidance on Information Requirements Part G „Extension of SDS“, Appendices 1-2). advice on scaling and tools or methods used for the preparation of the ES and are included in the last section of the ES (Guidance on Information Requirements Part D „Exposure Scenario Building“ D 8.2 „Advice to DU” See next slide 15 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin „Scaling“ will hopefully solve most problems Format for ES according to most recent Guidance Part D: Exposure Scenario Building und Part F: CSR Format Draft Update of ExposureScenario Format version 0.2.), 21.03.10 http://guidance.echa.europa.eu/docs/draft_documents/Inforeq_CSR_D_ESformat_draft_update_v2.pdf 16 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Practial Example for section 4 of ES in eSDS (most recent format, commercial SDS compiled in 10/2010) 17 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin What to do, if the use is identified but the exposure scenario is overprotective? Under CAD: perform a risk assessment and continue use under less protective conditions (obey STOP-principle) most actors must comply with both regulations Under REACH: Apply Art. 34 b) ? Call into question the risk management measures and …. continue use under less protective conditions ? Apply “scaling” ? remove all measures form exposure assessment model and hope that the risk ratio will suffice? Apply Art. 37 1 ? Define different conditions as “different use” and ask supplier for a new ES? Apply Art. 37 4 ? Perform a Downstream user CSA including duty to report to ECHA according to Art. 38? „Scaling“ would be most convenient 18 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Do the protection measures described in the eSDS / ES render one's own risk assessment superfluous? Question 2.4 of Announcement 409 No, but the exposure scenario provides valuable information • it may be used as a risk assessment supplied with the product (RAS) if it meets • • 19 the requirements set out in Annex 2 to technical rule TRGS 400 which is a checklist for whether the information in the sSDS is sufficient for a RAS Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Does the SDS contain all the necessary information for the selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)? Question 2.10 of annoncement 409: No. In the exposure scenario the existance and performance of PPE is supposed and used in model calculations Concrete and detailed information must be given in the body of the SDS (section 8) In addition Information on cleaning, maintenance and storage of the PPE has to be obtained from the PPE supplier, from the technical rules and from the accident insurance funds. 20 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Why does my safety data sheet have no annex? Question 1.4 of Announcement 409 An Annex to the SDS, containing an ES must only be provided for registered substances that have undergone a CSA that has resulted in one or more exposure scenarios Only who is required to prepare a chemical safety report according to Art.14 or 37 shall place the relevant ES in an annex to the SDS (eSDS)). DU who are not required to prepare a CSA (using substances supplied from within the EU for their identified uses) shall include the exposure scenarios they have received and add other relevant information in their own SDS (Art. 31(7) These DU may either submit the relevant information in the SDS itself (notably headings 7 and 8) or place the requirements for safe handling in an “ES” annexed to his SDS. This not an ES as defined in Art 3,27. Deviation from this „ES“ is not relevant for Art. 37(4). It may be relevant under CAD 21 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin Note: Most questions and answers of Announcement 409 (especially those about ES) apply to substances only An intended Annex Ib describing CSA for mixtures has been removed from the REACH Regulation because of lack of scientific basis: 22 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6.

December 2010, Berlin Content and structure of Information in CSR und eSDB – similar but not identical Which information from the CSR-ES to communicate down the supply chain? • For some of the sub-headlines there may be no OC or RMM or parts of information compiled in section 9.1 of the CSR may not be relevant for downstream users. • How to express the advice to downstream users in standardised phrases? • Which information from exposure estimation (section 9.x.2 of CSR) and risk characterisation (section 10.x of CSR to communicate via e-SDS to the downstream user ? • Suitable layout of the eSDS-ES may depend on markets, methods of exposure assessment and/or amount of information under different subheadlines http://guidance.echa.europa.eu/docs/draft_documents/Inforeq_CSR_D_ESformat_draft_update_v2.pdf 26 Dr. Eva Lechtenberg-Auffarth - How to use REACH Information for Health and Safety at Work - 6. December 2010, Berlin The format (or parts of it) of ES substances might be also used when ES from different substances are merged to compile SDS for mixtures Art. 31(7) verlangt, dass beim Erstellen eines eigenen SDB die erhaltenen Expositonsszenarien und andere Informationen einbezogen werden.
