ExESS REACH volume tracking

15/3/2010 ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING 1

Compiled for Essenscia VLARIP By

Frans Lemaire, Product Manager EH&S, LisamSystems

Why Volume tracking


• REACH obligations are linked with “ tonnage bands “ for substances (not for products) : REACH Substance Volume tracking

• > 1 ton • 1-10 ton• 10 – 100 ton• 100 – 1000 ton • > 1000 ton

• For Articles and Mixtures : SVHC Volume tracking• Detection of SVHC’s > 0,1% in articles and preparations

Why Volume tracking


REACH Substance Volume tracking and detection of SVHC are important to :

• be compliant with the correct REACH regulation aspects• track changes monthly as production quantities and companies LE and structure are subject of change• control the tonnage bands to avoid extra new registration and analysis costs

Automation is required for companies with an important number of (changing) chemicals and sites.

DON’T UNDERESTIMATETHE COMPLEXITY



REACH Substance Volume tracking calculation parameters : Legal Entity – general exemptions for substances – bought in EU is exempted – Origin of Product related to components - Similar substance principle (grouping) – sites and business unit production volumes – intermediate categories – exemptions can differ according to the type of composition – same substances can have REACH functions or NOT ! - Polymer/Monomer – Intermediate status - ….

REACH SVHC Volume tracking calculation parameters : Article and/or product composition – conversion to ww% for SVHC’s - Similar substance principle (grouping) – knowledge of BOM and composition information, …

Why Volume trackingand … what's the problem then ?


• Knowledge of origin :

• Collection of data per LE is not obvious• Principle of “ similar substances “ accepted in REACH• Data on compositions … many companies don’t know• Data on exemptions and rules • Composition depending Substance role for REACH • BOM not known ….• Fast automated detection of SVHC DON’T UNDERESTIM

ATE

THE COMPLEXITY

How can IT help ?


• Collection of all information on : • LE/Site/BU• Product and composition information• Exemption identification and special substance role in preparations

• REACH Substance identification (Inventory)• RVT Calculation algorithm and reporting

• Detection of tonnage band approaches/alarms • for SVHC : Article BOM data collection Cal• SVHC Volume tracking algorithm

How can IT help ? stepwise approach


Step 1 : enter LE/Site and BU informationStep 2 : define Articles, Preparations and substancesStep 3 : enter the composition (BOM) informationStep 4 : refine exemptions/add specific detailsStep 5 : transfer commercial trade volumesStep 6a : calculate the real REACH SVTStep 7 : upgrade the SVHC candidate listStep 6b : calculate the SVHC composition volumes

Manuel grouping of REACH substance

Or automated grouping of REACH substance using the EC inventory

Automatic grouping of substances is based on the use of EC inventory data : EC no if it existsCAS no if it exists

Check in EC inventory if an EC no is present that is related to that CAS no: group by that EC noif not: group by that CAS noIf both EC no and CAS no don’t exist: no grouping is possible

Conclusion


REACH SUBSTANCE VOLUME TRACKING (SVT): • More complex than sometimes estimated• Important to define compliancy• Automated solutions to track commercialized chemicals quantities• Many parameters are difficult to quantize• regular data updates can be automated

SVHC VOLUME TRACKING : • More complex because of lack of BOM• SVHC Lists are changing Track modifications• Regular data updates can be automated

The solution = ExESS, more with less
