In today's blog post, I would like to introduce you to another column of the column model of TRGS 600 [1]. After the last blog in the series, in which I dealt with column 4, physico-chemical effects, we are now staying in a technically similar topic. Column 5 of the column model deals with
The column model of TRGS 600 [1] as an assistance for the substitution check is already explained in several blog posts. I already introduced the columns dealing with health and environmental hazards. We now switch to hazardous substances that represent a hazard due to their physico-chemical effects. Physico-chemical effects (column 4) Column 4 of
Anyone involved in the preparation of safety data sheets cannot avoid the REACH Regulation [1]. Although the REACH Regulation is mainly relevant for manufacturers or importers of pure substances, it also contains important content for manufacturers of mixtures. The REACH Regulation consists mainly of annexes. In today's blog post, I would like to tell
If you work with hazardous substances in your company, you have some obligations that are listed in the GefStoffV [1]. For example, you must check substitution possibilities for your hazardous substances. The column model of TRGS 600 [2], which I already discussed in earlier articles, will help you with this. Today I would like
Anyone who has followed my blog posts over the last few weeks has certainly noticed that the topic of substitution testing is in focus. In particular, I have already discussed the column model of TRGS 600 [1] in general and column 2a (Acute health hazards). So the topic of today's blog post is obvious: Column
In my last post I introduced the column model of the German TRGS 600 [1] as a tool for substitution testing. In this and the upcoming posts, I would like to go more into detail about the individual columns. Today I will deal with column 2a of the column model, which is about acute
In my last blog post, I dealt with the topic of substitution testing of hazardous substances. In that context, I already mentioned the column model from the German TRGS 600 [1]. Today I would like to give you an insight on how to implement the column model. How does the column model help? The
When working with hazardous substances, a company has a number of obligations. For Germany, these obligations are listed in the GefStoffV [1] and include the obligation to carry out a risk assessment. Part of the risk assessment is to evaluate the possibilities for substitution. We have already given you an overview of the substitution
Many people are familiar with Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation [1], the so-called REACH Candidate List. SVHC substances are listed here, i.e. substances that are of particular concern with regard to their effect on the body and the environment. However, another annex of the REACH regulation must also be observed when mixtures or
In the course of digitalisation, many companies are also changing their document management. They replace paper documents as much as possible. Even safety data sheets are hardly ever passed on "analogue" today, but distributed as PDF documents. This raises the question of how to proceed in hazardous substance management - may one pass on
