What are restriction and prohibition lists in iChemistry?

If you handle hazardous chemical products in your business, you need to stay compliant with several different regulations. Some substances are restricted or prohibited to use. But how will you know if the chemical products you are using includes these hazardous chemicals and are thref covered by these regulations?

Well, all your chemical products have safety data sheets, and in them, there is information about classification in section 2 and a substance table in section 3. iChemistry can look for this information and flag products that are subject to certain regulations. This information can guide you with knowing which chemical products you should put some attention to, and there is guidance in many places in iChemistry, for example in the Overview in the field Restriction and prohibition lists.

Intersolia continuously monitors changes in legislation and ensures that we have the latest version of the regulations at least four times a year.

Working with the lists in iChemistry

The service for restriction and prohibiton lists in iChemistry is completely automated. This means there are some cases where you need to make a complementary assessment if a product should remain on a list or not. For example, the restriction/prohibiton for a substance might depend on how you use the product, or in what quantities.

In those cases, iChemistry will flag the product on the list regardless of usage and concentration levels. If you determine that the product doesn't belong on the list for your business, you may choose to exclude a product from a list. 

The correctness of the lists are depending on correct data from your suppliers of the SDS's. If you encounter a situation where this mandatory information is missing, we recommend you contacting your supplier and request them to update their SDS to accurately include e.g. CAS/EC number if that is what is missing. You can also manually include a product on the list through the "Edit product" option in iSafe.
