1 Exposure scenarios for industrial and professional end users Seminar om eksponseringsscenarier Miljødirektoratet, Liv Marthe Føllesdal, Dynea AS

2 Dynea today Norwegian company with sites in Denmark and Hungary Toll production in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Finland Core business: Formaldehyde (FH) and FH based resins Strong position in the European furniture, beams and multi layer boards industries Technology leader in low emission and no emission resins systems 200 employees Turnover 110 mill (900 mill NOK) ~260 customers in >60 countries world wide End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

3 Focus in this presentation Dynea priorities Legal requirements and guidance End user needs and obligations The Dynea exposure scenario journey Registrant Formulator End user Exposure scenarios burden or opportunity? End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

4 End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

5 Format ES for communication ECHA guidance Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, PART F Pratical examples Illustrative example of exposure scenarios Annontated templates for an ES ECHA and industry are working together to improve methodology and guidances End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

6 General advice * * An illustrative example of the exposure scenarios to be annexed to the safety data sheet. Part 1 Introductory note End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

7 Guidance clear advice Keep it short Keep it simple Keep it to the point End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

8 Exposure scenarios in the supply chain Production of FH Production of FH based products. Transport of FH based products Use at our customers Use of glued product Indoor air Waste, recycling CSR Substance ES Resin ES Registrant Include full life cycle Formulator Communicate relevant ES End user Check that safe use conditions are met End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

9 Dynea reality ES type No of pages ES in CSR 406 ES in formalin SDS ES in resin SDS 98? 11+? pages End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

10 How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

11 1) CSR ES Substance esds Workload Establish format ES for communication Desk work / paper work Generic uses Limited knowledge of customer required End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

12 2) Formaldehyde SDS Resin SDS Simplest solution pages End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

13 Is this format suitable for the typical Dynea customer? Customer characteristics Industrial (or professional) settings Article manufacturer Not considering them self as a chemical company Slim organisation typically mainly one person dealing with HSE and Q Mix of automated and manual processes Focused on practical solutions End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

14 What are the end user s obligations? 1) Verify that own use is covered by ES Use description Operational conditions Risk Management Measures 2) If required, implement new operational conditions and/or risk management measures 3) Document 4) Inform/update instructions to own employees Follow up of Chemicals directive (kjemikalieforskriften) Carcinogens and mutagens directive (kreftforskriften) Workplace exposure monitoring (arbeidsmiljømålinger) Workplace safety cards (arbeidsplassbeskrivelser) End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

15 Resin ES alternatives Generic Sector specific Sub-sector specific Industrial use of mixtures containing formaldehyde up to 1% Sector of use SU3 SU3 SU6b Process categories Environmental release categories PROC1 PROC2 PROC5 PROC6 PROC7 PROC8a PROC8b PROC9 PROC10 PROC13 PROC14 PROC24 ERC2 ERC3 ERC5 ERC6d Use of formaldehyde based resins in the wood working industry PROC2 PROC5 PROC6 PROC8a PROC8b PROC10 PROC13 PROC24 ERC2 ERC5 Use of formaldehyde based resins for production of panel boards SU3 SU6b PROC2 PROC5 PROC6 PROC8b PROC24 ERC2 ERC5 End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

16 Preferred solution is pending Industry complexity Products Market/customers Level of ambition Market strategy Resources Do YOU see exposures scenarios as a burden or an opportunity? End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

17 Dynea strategy Exposure scenarios is an excellent way to communicate safe use End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

18 Customer knowledge is crusial Process description Where are the emission points? Use descriptor system Exposure What process steps are involved? Operational conditions Risk Management Measures (e.g. Ventilation, personal protective equipement) Are worker exposure measurements available? End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

19 Resin/formaldehyde exposure in composite board production Glue kitchen PROC8b Storage tanks PROC8b PROC2/PROC5 Resin A Resin B PROC6 Forming Gluing Press Gluing Sawing PROC24 Cooling process PROC24 Sanding urea Lamination/ impregnation/ cutting/ storage FH End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal Dust

20 Section 1 Titles End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

21 Section 2 - Exposure controls PROC2 PROC8b End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

22 Section 3 Exposure estimation End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

23 Section 4 Guidance to DU No real changes End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

24 End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

25 Result 11 pages 2 pages Well arranged easy to read Duplicate information removed Only relevant processes included Only relevant conditions included Customer recognition Keep it short Keep it simple Keep it to the point Regulatory obligation Customer value??? End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal

26 Learning (so far) Learning by doing Eat elephants one bite at a time Involve multiple disciplines/departments Specific ES increase value of complex SDS for end user adequate / if required specific conditions Specific ES require more knowledge about customer handling Positive effects of development process (still ongoing) REACH status increased in the company Bringing colleagues to the same level for discussion New tool for sales/technical service to comment non-safe handling at customer End user exposure scenarios - Liv Marthe Føllesdal
