To comply with the requirements laid down in
Regulation 1907/2006/EC (REACH), Title IV, Information within the supply chain, Article 31 and Article 32, Dermacolor has provided for several years for the sending of documents by e-mail, recording the transmissions as proof of receipt. To have a more precise response of the reading of the documents, by customers, Dermacolor activated, in 2013, the reserved area that allows you to download directly the SDS and SI. In particular:
- Dermacolor only transmits the notice of the availability of the SDS to its customers, greatly reducing the size of the e-mails and thus avoiding the lack of the e-mail boxes of the recipients.
- The customer can access the reserved area from multiple locations, from multiple electronic tools, and at any time (even outside the business hours), simply sharing the access credentials. Dermacolor therefore invites employers to extend their login credentials to employees, so as to have access to the information provided with the SDS relating to the products they use and to which they are exposed during their professional activity, as enshrined in Article 35, Access of workers to information.
- The customer can access the reserved area an unlimited number of times, to download the SDS (in the event that the customer has not saved these in their company archives), whenever the need arises.
- The customer can download the latest version of the SDS even after 12 months from the last purchase of a product (time limit prescribed by Article 32, Obligation to communicate information downstream of the supply chain for substances as such or as components of preparations for which a safety data sheet is not prescribed, Paragraph 3 for the transmission of updates)
- the customer has at his disposal an archive of the SDS of the products purchased; Dermacolor recalls in fact the obligation, enshrined in Article 36, Obligation to keep the information, PAG 35 to ensure the availability of information for a period of at least ten years from the last purchase or use.
The provisions for the preparation of the SDS are set out in Article 31, Requirements relating to safety data sheets, Paragraph.1 which explains the obligation to deliver the SDS when providing a classified substance or mixture:
- Dangerous, according to Dangerous Substances Directive 67/548/EEC or the Dangerous Preparations Directive 1999/45/EC;
- PBT or vPvB, as defined in Annex XIII, Criteria for the identification of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances, and very persistent and very bioaccumulative substances;
- SVHC, Substances of Very High Corcern, included in the Candidate List, whose updated list can be consulted at https://echa.europa.eu/en/candidate-list-table
Dermacolor provides for a new update and the consequent re-emission of the SDS, according to the directives described in Article 31, Requirements relating to safety data sheets, Paragraph 9.
Dermacolor also points out that the Information Sheets (SI) do not fall under the obligations of any regulation, as they are documents relating to non-hazardous mixtures.
