Resumen

This Act provides the legal basis for organisation of the handling of chemicals and for the restriction of economic activities involving the handling of chemicals, and provides the principal safety requirements for the handling of chemicals and the procedure for notification of chemicals. A person responsible for the placing on the market of a chemical has the right to place the chemical on the market if: (a) the hazardous qualities of the chemical have been determined; (b) the risk arising from the chemical to health, the environment or property has been assessed; (c) the chemical has been identified, classified, packaged and labelled; and (d) requirements for notification and other requirements arising from this Act are met. Dangerous chemicals are chemicals which due to their intrinsic properties may cause damage to health, the environment or property. The minimum hazard level of a chemical is the quantity of the chemical at which the chemical may cause damage to health, the environment or property. The Chemicals Notification Centre shall be the authorized state institution in the sphere of handling of chemicals.
