Pro-activecommunication
Assumption 1: In general: ES’s should be made as high up in the supply chain as possible, but DU’s are to participate pro-actively - either on sector or national level.(In a few cases DU makes ES’s themselves)
Why is it so important to be pro-active?

Few days
Years

New additive in functional product(wood-stain)

Assumption 2: DU’s makes description of use/Template Exposure Scenariofrom which the M/I’s make the final ES to be included in the SDS
Which part of the life-cycle to start from?

Customer use
Assumption 3: In our work, we have started by describing our customers use:- Other actors up the supply chain have similar unit operations- Customers use is less controlled (limited industrial use)- Focus on use of formulated product.
Manufacture (own use)
Categories of chemicals Which should we have in mind - up front?
Assumption 4: Uses of all classified substances above a given conc. will need to be identified. - Substances with low classification/conc. may only need confirmation of RMM.- Other substances with higher classification/conc may need “more” precise description of use.

Agenda
• Danish REACH project
• Exposure Scenarios and our assumptions
• An example of “Description of Use”
• Further work
Possible future work 1/2
• Make final Exposure Scenarios– Paint– Adhesive
• Collaborate with supplier on raw material to develop right form of Template/Final ES
• Collaborate with ‘Arona network’: “ES is still to be defined in practice”
• Test concept with Technical Service in DU and with customers
