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.

Giftige stoffer

The list contains substances that are defined as toxic and therefore must fulfill specific requirements for storage, sales etc. Toxic substances are determined by the following hazard statements: H300, H310, H330, H301, H311, H331, H370, H350, H360, H340.

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.

Uønskede stoffer

The Danish EPA's List of Unwanted Substances is a list of problematic substances whose use should be reduced or phased out in the long term.

Kræftfremkaldende, mutagene eller reproduktionstoksiske stoffer

This restriction list was updated in May 2024 with a new setup of criteria: Instead of just matching against CAS numbers, we added a combination rule for matching: CAS numbers and hazard statements H340/H350/H360/H360F/H360D/H360FD/H360Fd/H360Df with a concentration >0.1% (applies to the hazard statements only). The list was updated again in October 2026 when H350i and H351 were added.

What the list shows:

iChemistry compares the safety data sheet (SDS) of each product in your chemical inventory with the criteria of the list. A product shows on the list if:

• The product contains a substance that is named on the list. iChemistry identifies the substance by its CAS number in section 3 of the SDS.

• The product contains >0.1% of a substance that is classified with one or more of these hazard statements (H-statements): H340, H350, H350i, H360, H360F, H360D, H360FD, H360Fd, H360Df, or H351. iChemistry finds the classification and the concentration in section 3 of the SDS.

CMR substances are substances that can cause cancer (carcinogenic), damage genetic material (mutagenic), or harm fertility or the unborn child (reproductive toxic). In Denmark, employers must take extra measures to protect employees who work with CMR substances (Danish CMR Executive Order, BEK no. 582 of 25/06/2026). The first step is to know which of your products contain CMR substances. This list helps you find them.

This is a Danish restriction list of chemical products that contain one or more substances that are defined as Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic or suspected carcinogenic. Substances on the list are subject to limitations at the workplace.

Check if the rules apply to the product:

A match does not always mean that the product is covered by the rules. The rules only apply if the concentration of the substance in the product is at or above a limit. The limits are set in Annex 1 of the Danish CMR Executive Order (BEK no. 582 of 25/06/2026):

• Substances named on the list: Each substance has its own limit. For most substances, the limit is 0.1%. For a few substances, the rules apply at any concentration. For some substances, the limit is higher, or depends on how you use the product.

• H340, H350 or H350i: >0.1%

• H360, H360F, H360D, H360FD, H360Fd or H360Df: 0.3% or more.

• H351: 1% or more. This only applies if the classification is harmonised, which means that it is decided at EU level.

For each product on the list, check these points:

1. Is the concentration at or above the limit? Compare the concentration in section 3 of the SDS with the limit. If the SDS gives a range and the limit is inside the range, treat the product as covered. You can also ask the supplier for the exact concentration.

2. For H351: is the classification harmonised? Ask the supplier, or search for the substance on the website of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). If the classification is not harmonised, the product is not covered.

3. For substances named on the list: does the limit depend on how you use the product? Compare the limit with how the product is used at your workplace.

Then make a decision:

• The product is covered: The extra requirements for CMR substances apply. Start by investigating if you can replace the product with a less hazardous alternative.

• The product is not covered: Write down the reason for your decision, so that others can understand and check it later.

Kemiske påvirkninger for gravide og ammende

Danish guidance on chemicals which should be avoided for pregnant or nursing women. The employer must ensure that pregnant and nursing women are not exposed to hazardous chemicals that may harm the fetus or newborn child. The list is based on hazard statements recommended by the Danish occupational health and safety agency, but chemicals that should be avoided are not limited to this list.

The legislation is not based on a specific list, but the following hazard statements: H310, H311, H312, H340, H341, H350, H350i, H351, H360, H361, H362, H370, H371, H372, H373 as defined by in the Danish legislation Bekendtgørelse om arbejdets udførelse, Bilag 2.

Uddannelseskrav til arbejde med epoxy og isocyanater

Danish restriction list of chemical products that contain an epoxy or isocyanat constituent. Substances on the list are subject to specific education requirements before the employee can work with the chemical product.

The list is based on the definition outlined in the Danish occupation health and safety legislation Bekendtgørelse om arbejde med stoffer og materialer (kemiske agenser), Bilag 3 Arbejde med epoxyharpikser og isocyanater. The regulation outlines requirements for work with epoxy and isocyanat containing substances.

The criteria for the list have been sourced from a team of experienced EHS consultants at Intersolia.

A and B Substances

Danish restriction list of chemical products that contains substances which are restricted in the wastewater. The list is divided into A and B substances depending on the limitations. The restriction list is matched against substances in your chemical products. All restriction lists in iChemistry are indicative. This list is an add on.

Definition

The list is defined in the Danish environmental guidance called Tilslutning af industrispildevand til

offentlige spildevandsanlæg. The regulation is a guidance for the municipalities to set restrictions for which chemicals can be discharged in the wastewater stream.

Exception

Substances covered by the exception:

All substances that do not contain one or more of the classifications are C-substances and should therefore not be mentioned in the list.

Groups covered

A-substances:

Contains one or more of the following classifications: H400, H410, H370, H372, H373, H340, H350, H350i, H351, H360, H360F, H360D, H360FD, H360Fd, H360Df, H361, H361f, H361d, H361fd, H362
