German customers get offered a country package of German 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.
ChemVerbotsV (Chemikalien Verbotsverordnung)
This list contains products for which, according to Annex 1 of the Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance, a ban on placing on the German market applies, as well as products for which, according to Annex 2 of the Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance, requirements for selling apply. It serves as a supplement to Article 67 in conjunction with Annex XVII of the REACH Regulation.
TRGS 900
List with products which contain substances that have a clearly assigned occupational exposure limit value according to TRGS 900. The restriction list is based on CAS numbers and is collected from Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin and the regulation TRGS 900 Arbeitsplatzgrenzwerte.
TRGS 905
List with products, which are clearly identified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductively toxic according to TRGS 905. The listed products of the TRGS 905 are not regulated by other analogous regulations, yet.
The restriction list is based on CAS numbers and is collected from Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin and the regulation TRGS 905 Verzeichnis krebserzeugender, keimzellmutagener oder reproduktionstoxischer Stoffe.
TRGS 907
Substances or groups of substances which, according to established scientific knowledge, can be assumed to have a respiratory or sensitizing effect, but which are not classified as sensitizing in Annex VI of the CLP Regulation and which are therefore are not required to be labelled with H317 and/or H334.
The restriction list is based on CAS numbers and collected from Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin and the regulation TRGS 907 Verzeichnis sensibilisierender Stoffe und von Tätigkeiten mit sensibilisierenden Stoffen.
Potentielle Explosionsgefahr
List with products, which may pose a risk of explosion under certain circumstances. This list shows all products labelled with one or more of the following hazard statements: H200, H201, H202, H203, H204, H205, H229, H230, H231, H240, H241, H280, EUH001, EUH018, EUH019, EUH044.
