Hazard classification restrictions
Mandatory
Required? Yes: must be met to carry the credential.
Klar Cite summary
Applicants must base hazard classes on the latest EU rules; substances whose hazard is removed by processing, such as bonding into polymers, are exempt. This concerns human health.
EU Ecolabel·clause 14(a)·p.15
Human Health
- Exemption
- The use of substances or mixtures which change their properties upon processing (e.g., become no longer bioavailable, undergo chemical modification) so that the identified hazard no longer applies are exempted from the above requirements. This shall include polymers that have been modified to incorporate a function and monomers or additives which become covalently bonded with polymers.
