Principle: no data = no claim (we do NOT declare "no restrictions" without a basis). 6 required / 12 items [required] SDS (Safety Data Sheet) available (sds) How to comply: Requirement: current SDS compliant with Reg. 1907/2006 (REACH) Annex II, 16-section format. Source / form: https://echa.europa.eu/information-on-chemicals [required] Compliant CLP label (pictograms + signal word + H/P) (clp_label) How to comply: The label must include: GHS pictograms, the signal word (Danger/Warning), hazard (H) and precautionary (P) statements, and manufacturer details. Required since 2010 (substances) and 2015 (mixtures). For this substance a HARMONISED CLASSIFICATION applies (CLP Annex VI) — see below; it takes precedence over self-classification. CLP VI: Flam. Liq. 2 — H225 Source / form: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32008R1272 [required] Chemical OSH training (substance-specific) (bhp_training) How to comply: Laboratory staff: initial training (general induction + job-specific) + refresher training every 5 years (or every 3 for engineering/technical positions). Documentation kept in personnel files. Source / form: https://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU20040180169 [required] BDO registration (Polish Waste Database) (bdo_registration) How to comply: The GHS classification of this substance indicates properties that may render the waste arising from it hazardous (Regulation 1357/2014, HP properties — with concentration thresholds calculated from the content in the waste, not in the reagent). Whether this gives rise to an obligation to keep BDO records depends on the waste producer and the scale of activity (Art. 50 of the Polish Waste Act; exemptions include up to 100 kg/year of hazardous waste). This is not a statement of obligation for the purchaser.

Do NOT assume there are no restrictions — before shipping, verify the transport classification in ADR 2025 (Table A) and in section 14 of the safety data sheet (SDS). Source / form: https://unece.org/transport/dangerous-goods/adr-2025-files [conditional] REACH registration (>1 t/year EU import) (reach_registration) How to comply: Importers/manufacturers ≥1 tonne/year must register the substance with ECHA (technical dossier + Chemical Safety Report if ≥10 t). Check the ECHA Annex VI / registered substances list. Source / form: https://echa.europa.eu/regulations/reach/registration [to be verified] SVHC notification (Substances of Very High Concern) (svhc_declaration) How to comply: SVHC status not verified against the available dataset — check the current ECHA candidate list; do not assume the absence of an entry. Source / form: https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table [to be verified] REACH Annex XIV (authorisation list) (reach_annex_xiv) How to comply: Not verified against the ECHA Authorisation List — check REACH Annex XIV.

Air concentration measurements at the workplace at least 1×/2 years (when ≤0.1 NDS) or 1×/year (when 0.1-0.5 NDS). Accredited measurement laboratory.
