– The global implementation of GHS should take place during 2008.The registration phase of REACH, the uniform chemical law
applicable within the EU, also begins in 2008.
– Because of the numerous interconnections between GHS and REACH, the European Commission has scheduled the implementation of the two regulations to follow each another in
quick succession.
– The implementation of GHS is progressing at different places around the world. In many Asian countries, for example, GHS has already been introduced.

GHS – What must be done?
The conversion to GHS has significant effects on the handling of chemicals.
– All products have to be checked to be in line with the requirements of GHS.
– Within the transition periods,
• labelling shall be adapted to the new requirements.• safety data sheets shall be correspondingly changed.
– All substances which meet the criteria for classification as hazardous and are placed on the market shall be notified to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) for inclusion in the classification and labelling inventory.

GHS - What essential changes does GHS involve?
– GHS introduces globally harmonized criteria for the classification of physical,toxicological, and environmental relevant properties.
– GHS establishes globally harmonized criteria for hazard communication. In theoverview, this relates to the introduction of new or modified:
• hazard classes,• hazard categories,• hazard pictograms,• signal words,• hazard statements,• precautionary statements.
– GHS offers the opportunity to bring product safety to a high level all over theworld. GHS will thus contribute to improving measures for protecting human health and the environment on a global scale.

4. 4. IME proposes to globally standardize such IME proposes to globally standardize such security markings into a harmonized format security markings into a harmonized format so that, when marks are used, interpretation so that, when marks are used, interpretation of those markings can be done quickly and of those markings can be done quickly and efficiently, enabling law enforcement officials efficiently, enabling law enforcement officials to advance their investigations without undue to advance their investigations without undue delays. Since almost all Class 1 articles and delays. Since almost all Class 1 articles and substances must at some time be transported, substances must at some time be transported, the United Nations Recommendations on the the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, in the form of Transport of Dangerous Goods, in the form of the Model Regulations, appears to be the the Model Regulations, appears to be the most appropriate instrument to enable such most appropriate instrument to enable such harmonized identification information to be harmonized identification information to be adopted universally. adopted universally.

5. The structure proposed by IME 5. The structure proposed by IME recognizes that the key information for recognizes that the key information for traceability is the name and location of traceability is the name and location of the manufacturer of the product and a the manufacturer of the product and a code that can be used to uniquely code that can be used to uniquely identify the individual explosive item. identify the individual explosive item. This proposal only deals with the format This proposal only deals with the format of such a marking and does not advocate of such a marking and does not advocate any physical or chemical modification of any physical or chemical modification of the explosive material contained in the the explosive material contained in the product (chemical or microscopic product (chemical or microscopic identifiers or taggants).identifiers or taggants).

Globally harmonized standard for explosives Globally harmonized standard for explosives security markings security markings 6. The format proposed by IME is based on
the harmonized system of the European Commission Directive 2008/43/EC (as amended by Directive 2012/4/EU), which is believed to be the most commonly used marking format. Much of global industry has already adopted this format for transport to, within, and through the European Union. Since the proposed marking format simply extends the country identifier beyond that of the EU, it is believed that such a format would have no impact on markings already being used within the European Union.

7. 7. It is IME’s hope that those countries outside of It is IME’s hope that those countries outside of the European Union that have already mandated the European Union that have already mandated security marking requirements will authorize the security marking requirements will authorize the proposed format as an acceptable alternative to proposed format as an acceptable alternative to that which they have already mandated. that which they have already mandated.

1. WHAT IS AN END USER?
The end user would be the last undertaking to take possession or custody and to use the explosive, for example operating blasting on site. In certain cases this could be the subcontracting company undertaking the blasting. In other words, those responsible for the last place of storage on a site prior to use should keep records from the time they take possession or custody of the explosive until it is used. It should not however normally be necessary for records to be kept on the individual person, such as the individual shot-firer, to whom the explosive is given to use.
106106
What are the legal responsibilities of an end user?
Member States lay down rules on penalties applicable
to infringements of the provisions of national law adopted pursuant to this Directive and ensure that those rules are enforced. The penalties provided for should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.Legal responsibilities of undertakings as end users
are affecting the whole chain from the CEO of the

c. Each end user has to define a procedure to grant that there is no gap in the traceability and identification of custody between the reception of the explosive and its use in regards to the law.
d. In the activities of reception, use of the explosive, and/or storage on-site, which can be coupled or separated activities, the chosen procedures have to be notified clearly for data process management to Track and Trace suppliers.

c. At regular intervals test their data collection system in order to ensure its effectiveness and the quality of the data recorded.
d. Protect the data collected against accidental or malicious damage or destruction.
e. Maintain the information for a 10 years period after the end of the life cycle of the explosive even if the company has ceased its activity.
f. Inform the competent authorities upon their request (24/24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 10 years) concerning the origin and location of each explosive.
