CLP

Classification and labeling of Chemicals in accordance with CLP

CLP stands for Classification, Labelling, and Packaging. It is a classification used to certify and demonstrate that chemical substances are packaged safely and correctly. The classification ensures that no accidents occur with the end-user and that all chemicals have the least possible impact on the environment. All Gokemi’ S products are classified, labeled, and packaged in accordance with CLP (EC) No 1271/2008 CLP/GHS.

GoKemi

Safety Data Sheets

All GoKemi’s Safety Data Sheets are prepared in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/830 of May 28, 2015, amending the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 concerning the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals (REACH).

REACH focuses on improving measures to protect health and the environment. GoKemi ApS emphasizes the importance of REACH objectives. As a distributor and trading company, we take our responsibility by providing customers with accurate information – SDS and exposure scenarios – and we gather information from manufacturers or importers about new uses of chemicals that require new exposure scenarios. As a result, we request that our suppliers' products comply with the European REACH regulation. Compliance with REACH primarily means that all substances have been preregistered and/or registered by the manufacturer (or representative of suppliers based outside the EU).

ABC-stoffer

What is A-, B- and C-substances?

The ABC system is a scale used to assess the content of environmentally harmful substances in chemicals that end up in wastewater, such as cleaning agents and certain degreasers. The product is evaluated based on knowledge of the harmful effects of the substances released on humans, their persistence in water and air, biodegradability to non-harmful or less harmful substances, toxicity to aquatic organisms, and the substances' tendency to persist in nature and through the food chain.

The scale is divided into three categories: A, B, and C, based on environmental hazard, with A-substances being the most dangerous.

A-substances have undesirable properties in the environment, and therefore, discharge into the sewage system is often not allowed. They must be replaced or treated in a closed system.

B-substances should not occur in such large quantities in wastewater that they exceed the established environmental criteria. They should, therefore, be replaced with less harmful substances whenever possible. These substances must also be regulated according to the principle of using the best available technology.

C-substances are classified as not having properties that require setting limit values in wastewater. These substances must be regulated according to the principle of using the best available technology.

Unassessed substances 

lack information about their environmental hazards, so they cannot be evaluated. This automatically classifies them as potential A-substances, which should not be discharged into the sewer.

Whenever possible, we choose C-substances in our chemicals. This means that we are continuously working with our formulations and replacing hazardous chemicals with better alternatives without compromising on efficiency. Gokemi’ S products are PFAS-free.
