The Product&Application Toolbox

Here is the online toolbox providing users of chlorinated solvents with information about the safe & sustainable use of these products.

The toolbox is built up as a self-explaining guide based on a simple decision tree of product applications to lead the user readily to the proper information on safe use, environmental protection as well as legislative requirements.

Toolbox 5 substances

The applications are colour-coded in order to highlight ECSA use recommendations:

Green application: uses are REACH assessed and/or permitted and recommended under certain conditions as described.

Red application: uses are not REACH assessed and/or prohibited.

The recommendations take into account REACH (1907/2006/EC on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) as well as other European legislation or voluntary industry commitments. The content of the Toolbox is based on the REACH Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) of the substances.

The Toolbox also includes recommendations based on experience of ECSA members that go beyond the given legal framework of the CSA under REACH.
