Drug Precursors (EU Restriction list)

About the list

The production and trade of precursor chemicals requires licenses and monitoring. Main goal of directive is to prevent illicit use of drug precursors. Drug precursor list is collected from REGULATION (EC) No 273/2004 most recent version. All CAS numbers from the list are retrieved without any exceptions.


I have products on the list - what should I do?

If you see that you have products inventoried in iChemistry that match the list of drug precursors, you can start by examining which substance is causing the matching and in what concentration that substance is in the product.


To do this, go to the product's iSafe> Restriction and Prohibition Lists and see the substance name under Reason. Then click on Show composition (or section 3 in the SDS) to see the concentration level for that substance. This way you see if the substance that causes the matching is present in high concentrations in your chemical product or not.


After that, you'll need to make an assessment if your usage is covered by the restrictions in regulation (EC) No 273/2004 or not. Should you need any help, please contact our EHS experts by sending an e-mail to consulting@intersolia.com.
