Denmark: Description of restriction lists

This article has been translated with machine translation. 


Danish customers get offered a country package of Danish restriction lists as a standard, to facilitate being compliant with national legislation. All lists are shown in the Overview in iChemistry. The lists offered are described below.


If you have products on any of the list, you'll need to determine if you should substitute the product or in any way adapt your risk assessment. As a first step, you can check the concentration level of the substance that is causing the match. This way you'll get an understanding if the hazardous substance constitutes a significant or minor part of your chemical product.


To identify the substance, you can visit the product's iSafe and find the substance under Restriction- and prohibition lists, under Reason. Then check the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 3 or click on 'Show composition' at the bottom of iSafe to see the concentration of that substance in the chemical product.


If you are unsure about how to proceed, we recommend that you contact either your account manager or our EHS experts by emailing consulting@intersolia.com, and they will guide you further. You are also more than welcome to contact our support team at support@intersolia.com.

Grænseværdier for stoffer og materialer


The list consists of products that contains substances that are listed as having an occupational exposure limit value.


You'll notice that when you create a risk assessment for a product that are on this list, an extra warning will be triggered. You'll need to confirm that the exposure limit value will not get exceeded in the handling of the chemical and then click Done. To assess whether the limit is exceeded, knowledge of how to perform these measurements is required. If you are unsure about how to proceed, we recommend that you contact either your account manager or our EHS experts by emailing consulting@intersolia.com, and they will guide you further.
