Reminder the CEPE sector

• CEPE represents manufacturers of
• decorative coatings
• printing inks
• industrial coatings
• artists colours
• CEPE is
• 1400 companies 80 of industry
• 70 SME/M 12 global companies
• 3,000 non-members most SME/M

4
Preparing the CEPE proposal (1)

• Our aims
• overall, to support and co-ordinate specific
  national or European industry activities
• to test information flows up and down at least
  three supply chain steps e.g.
• provision of DU (CEPE) descriptions of use and
  RMMs upstream
• assessing upstream Exposure Scenarios
• to cover the wide range of use situations found
  in
• manufacture of coatings and inks
• application (use) of coatings and inks
• to test CEPE tools and procedures for risk
  identification and management
• identifying critical components for control
• identifying appropriate RMMs
• preparing eSDSs for preparations

5
Preparing the CEPE proposal (2)

• selected a representative set of cases
• Deco consumer/professional - diffuse
• Screen printing professional/industrial -
  non-spray
• Structural steel professional - outdoors
• Coil coating industrial - engineering controls
• Vehicle refinish professional spray
• Powder coating industrial - particulates
• CEPE exploring further sectors
• aim to evaluate all in RIP3.2-2 timeframe

Methodologies Two approaches

• Semi-quantitative
• Quantitative

13
Semi-quantitative method

• Inspiration
• Stoffenmanager
• COSHH essentials
• Starting point Manufacture (but use will also
  be tested)
• One use Coatings or inks manufacture
• For each exposure route select critical component

19
Semi-quantitative methodProcess
RMM

• Develop industry standard RMM-matrix.
• Subsequent process
• CEPE member sends matrix to supplier
  information about exposure categories.
• RMM is reviewed by supplier
• A reduced matrix is incorporated into the ES send
  from supplier in SDS
• CEPE member makes practical risk assesment

20
Quantitative method

• Inspiration
• Existing TGDs
• Starting point USE by consumers/professional(but
  manufacture will also be tested)
• Each industry sector establishes a table of
  Standard Exposure Values
• To be used together with information on RMM
  efficiency factors.

21
Quantitative methodBasic idea (1)

Measured or Modelled data

Quantitative methodBasic idea (2)
Substance data from supplier
Exposure value
gtlt DNEL
Standard Exposure Values (industry sector)
gt DNEL
lt DNEL
Use can be considered safe
RMM to be used Exposure value reduced with RMM
effciency factor
gt DNEL
lt DNEL
Additional RMM to be used.
Use with RMM can be considered safe

Quantitative methodStandard Exposure Values

• To be reviewed by
• Industry sector
• commission/authorities

Measured or Modelled data
24
Quantitative method Options if use can not be
demonstrated to be safe
Additional testing to be done (substance supplier
level)
Exposure value
gtlt DNEL
gt DNEL
New exposure values to be measured (across
industry sector)
RMM to be used Exposure value reduced with RMM
effciency factor
More testing on RMM efficiency (RMM supplier
level)
gt DNEL
Additional RMM to be used.
25
Semi-quantitative methodProcess

• Develop industry standard of exposure values.
• Collect table of RMM efficiency factors
• Subsequent process
• CEPE member receives DNEL (incl. in SDS) from
  supplier for critical component for the specific
  exposure route
• Exposure value is compared to DNEL
• If unable to document safe use, various options
  are considered either on supplier, industry
  sector level or company level.

26
In conclusion

• details still being finalised
• recognise a number of questions/uncertainties/unkn
  owns
• see RIP 3.2-2 a valuable opportunity to test
  acceptability and practicality of approaches
