  1. ExESSREACH volume tracking Compiled for Essenscia VLARIP By Frans Lemaire, Product Manager EH&S, LisamSystems ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  2. 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 ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  3. 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.

  4. Volume tracking Algorithm DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE COMPLEXITY ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  5. Volume tracking Algorithm ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  6. Volume tracking Algorithm 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, … ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  7. 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 UNDERESTIMATE THE COMPLEXITY ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  8. 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 ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  9. How can IT help ?stepwise approach Step 1 : enter LE/Site and BU information Step 2 : define Articles, Preparations and substances Step 3 : enter the composition (BOM) information Step 4 : refine exemptions/add specific details Step 5 : transfer commercial trade volumes Step 6a : calculate the real REACH SVT Step 7 : upgrade the SVHC candidate list Step 6b : calculate the SVHC composition volumes ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  10. SVT 1. LE/Site/BU management Organisations ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  11. SVT 1. LE/Site/BU management Physical Localisation of Chemicals per LEGAL ENTITY ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  12. SVT 2. Trade product composition ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  13. SVT 3. Exemptions and rules ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  14. SVT 3. Exemptions and rules 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 exists • CAS 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 no • if not: group by that CAS no • If both EC no and CAS no don’t exist: no grouping is possible ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  15. SVT 3. Exemptions and rules Automated grouping of REACH substance using the EC inventory ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  16. SVT 4. Volume entry (tons) ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  17. SVT 4. Volume entry (%) ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  18. SVT 5 & 6 : Refine & calculate ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  19. SVT 6. SVT reporting ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  20. SVHC step 1 : Identification of SVHC ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  21. SVHC step 1 : Identification of SVHC ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  22. SVHC step 2 : Final article/product list + %ww Product or Article Name Detected SVHC Ww in % calculated ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  23. IT Configurations Standalone IT calculation tool : Input (import) Legal entities and Sites (LE/Sites) Input (import) Trade products and relation to the LE / Sites Input (import) Trade product compositions with exemptions, including REACH information for components/ingredients when available Input (import) Trade volumes Refine manual REACH settings Calculate and report ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  24. IT Configurations ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  25. IT Configurations System Integrated IT calculation tool : Integrate ExESS with other IT systems to exchange : Input (import) Legal entities and Sites (LE/Sites) Input (import) Trade products and relation to the LE / Sites Input (import) Trade product compositions with exemptions, including REACH information for components/ingredients when available Input (import) Trade volumes Refine manual REACH settings Calculate and report ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  26. REACH Volume tracking in the World EU : REACH : Guidance documents ECHA Guidance on registration - May 2008 - ECHA Guidance for intermediates – February 2008 - ECHA Guidance for monomers and polymers – June 2007 - ECHA Guidance for requirements of substances in articles – May 2008 – ECHA http://guidance.echa.europa.eu/guidance_en.htm USA & CANADA : IUR http://www.epa.gov/iur/ ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  27. REACH Volume tracking in the World JAPAN : CSCL (Chemical Substances Control Law) http://www.env.go.jp/en/chemi/outline_CSCL.pdf Source : ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING

  28. 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 ExESS REACH VOLUME TRACKING
