Additional requirements for CMR substances
For some substances, additional requirements apply in addition to the regular registration requirements. This is especially true for the group of CMR substances (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic). For that category , you must register the following additional data:
- The reason why use is strictly necessary and the substance cannot be replaced by a safer alternative.
- The amount of the substance that is made, used or present per year.
- The work that is carried out with the above substances to which employees may be exposed.
- The employees who may be exposed in the workplace.
- The protective measures taken. For example, by separating employees from the source (closed systems), ventilation of the workspace, local ventilation (fume hood, safety cabinet) and the use of personal protective equipment (gloves).
