  1. ES-MODIFIERAn IT-tool for formulators – particularilySME’s ES-workshop in Varese, Italy May 19-20, 2008 Helle Simon Elbro, hseconsult

  2. List of contents • Brief demonstration of IT-tool • Practicaluse of ’Descriptors of Use’ • Evaluation of ES-Modifier by others

  3. Focuson all formulatingindustrysectors- and theircustomers Earlier Prototypes Present version • Present focus: • Raise awareness/ • involvement Paints Lubricants Paints Adhesives 2) Longer term: Sealants Cleaning agents ES ++ Scaling

  4. Key OUTPUT: Calculation of RCR Risk Characterisation Ratio < 1 ≥ 1 Exposure HUMAN DNEL ES MODIFIER Exposure ENVIRONMENT PNEC Not Safe Safe

  5. ExposureAssessment • Default exposure models: • Ecetoc TRA • EUSES, withERC’s (orindustryspecificreleasefractions) • Other models beingincluded: • StoffenManager; RiskOfDerm; COSHH-BAUA

  6. Headlines for a USE 1. Lifecycle stage Service Life (S) Manufacturing (M) Formulation (F) End use (U) Industry Industry Consumer Professional 2. Usergroup Industry Professional Consumer 3. Descriptors of use (SU, PC, PROC, AC)

  7. Focus for ES-modifiertool • NOT • Company withriskassessmentexpertsorwhowillmake DU-CSR • Company participating in pan-europeanactivityregardingdevelopment of ES-concept under REACH • HOT • Formulating DU company/ Small tradingcompanyimporting from outside of EU • Basicknowledgehow to make SDS for preparations (max. 1-2 persons in HS&E department) • Noknowledgeaboutself-classfication • ES knowledgethroughnationalhelpdesks/trade organisations

  8. How to useES-modifier • Chooselifecycle stage (and usergroup) • Insertsubstance data (directly/plug-in)(TodayES-Modifier is substancebased; future plans for preparations) • Describe overall useaccording to DoU • Choose models(Default models areEcetoc TRA and EUSES) • Describespecificdetails of use • Makecalculations and observe RCR results

  9. Substance Lifecycle stage + user group Descriptors of use (SU; PC; PROC; AC) Menu options Detailed input RCR Risk Charac. Ratio

  10. List of contents • Brief demonstration of IT-tool • Practicaluse of ’Descriptors of Use’ • Evaluation of ES-Modifier

  11. Practicaluse of ’Descriptors of use’ (DoU) • Conclusion from case studies in RIP 3.2: • DoU is difficult to use/notreproducible • DoU is the maintoolrecommended in guidance for • the identification of use • and the headline in the ES • More help is needed to find yourwayaround in DoU • Reference to Life Cycle Stage • Pre-selection of main and sub-categories • Industry specific translation of PROC-codes • Pre-combination of DoU and ERC’s

  12. Translation of Sectors of use Life cycle stages Main category for industrial use Sub category for industrial use Main category for formulation Consumer use Professional use

  13. Combination of DoU*) and ERC’sPresent activity SU1 SU2 .. .. .. SU23 PC1 PC2 .. .. .. .. .. .. PC41 PROC1 PROC2 .. .. PROC19 AC1 AC2 .. .. .. .. .. AC40 x x x An ERC’s to be attached to every combination! SU22+PC9+PROC9+AC18.1  ERC 8c *) DoU = Descriptors of Use

  14. Translation of PROC’sFuture activity Coatings sector Continuous production ... Batch production Spray application Brush application .. Printing .. PROC1 PROC2 .. .. .. .. PROC19 ≈ • Sector specific translation • Structured according to • Product category (PC)

  15. List of contents • Brief demonstration of IT-tool • Practicaluse of ’Descriptors of Use’ • Evaluation of ES-Modifier

  16. Evaluation of ES-Modifier Functionality • DU Companies • DU sectorgroups (translation of e.g. PROC) Communication in supplychain (incl. exchange of substance data) • M/I Companies & sectorgroups (CEFIC) Discussion of responsibility • Authorities Validation of calcualtions • Experts
