Traduction de «Fiche pour chaîne d'arpenteur » (Français → Anglais) :

Safety data sheets thus amended should continue to be an important element of hazard communication and provide a mechanism for transmitting appropriate safety information on substances and mixtures meeting the criteria for classification in accordance with applicable Community legislation, as well as certain substances and mixtures not meeting those criteria, taking into account information from any relevant chemical safety report, down the supply chain to the immediate downstream user.

Since the provisions on safety data sheets are included in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 which uses the safety data sheet as the main communication tool within the supply chain of substances, it is appropriate not to duplicate the same provisions in this Regulation.

– Increased information in the supply chain and improved safety data sheets is resulting in more appropriate risk management measures, thus contributing to the observed reduction in nominal risk, and has benefited end-users, such as article producers.

If the safety data sheet is developed for a preparation, the actor in the supply chain may prepare a chemical safety assessment for the preparation in accordance with Annex Ib. In that case, it is sufficient if the information in the safety data sheet is consistent with the chemical safety report for the preparation instead of with the chemical safety report for each substance in the preparation.

1. All actors in the supply chain or distributors of a substance on its own or in a preparation who do not have to supply a safety data sheet in accordance with Article 33 shall communicate free of charge the following information down the supply chain to the immediate downstream user or distributor:

(61) In order to have a chain of responsibilities, downstream users should be responsible for assessing the risks arising from their uses of substances if those uses are not covered by a safety data sheet received from their suppliers, unless the downstream user concerned takes more protective measures than those recommended by his supplier or unless his supplier was not required to assess those risks or provide him with information on those risks; for the same reason, downstream users should manage the risks arising from their uses of substances and provide information on their safe use down the supply chain to the ultimate user - the ...[+++]consumer.
