About the list

The rules regarding explosive precursors are found in EU Regulation 2019/1148. Explosives precursors are chemical substances which can be misused to manufacture home-made explosives.


The list in iChemistry consists of the CAS numbers listed in the directive. They are either reportable or restricted. 

See Annex I and Annex II: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32019R1148


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

If you see that you have products inventoried in iChemistry that match the restriction list, 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. Compare the concentration with the limit values in the directive in Annex I or Annex II.


After that, you'll need to make an assessment if you'll need to substitute the product or adapt the risk assessment in some way. Should you need any help, please contact our EHS experts by sending an e-mail to consulting@intersolia.com.
