Your approach to the Danish Chemicals Act

How should your dealings with your supplier proceed in order to ensure compliance with the chemicals legislation? What is the best approach to the chemicals laws and how can you test your own products?

Every year, the Chemical Inspection Service of the Environmental Protection Agency discovers products that do not comply with the Danish Chemicals Act. The non-compliance may relate to proper labelling and declaration of content or to the use of chemicals that are not permitted.

Experience shows that often, a lack of knowledge of the regulations and tools for monitoring the products one is handling (in-house control) lead to the illegal sale of products.

This website is aimed at the smaller enterprise that wishes to make the extra effort to keep abreast of the Danish Chemicals Act. This initiative will, among other things, provide ideas for targeted efforts to maintain in-house control.
