Disclaimer
As regards the use of the "mixture calculator“ module, it is hereby pointed out that pursuant to the CLP Regulation, the BG RCI (the body responsible for GisChem) is merely able to support the employers in the companies or their representatives with the classification and labelling of the mixtures used in the company concerned. The manufacturer or distributor remains responsible for the classification and labelling of mixtures. The employer also remains responsible for the use of the classification and labelling in the scope of the hazard assessment in accordance with the Hazardous Substance Regulation and the provision of such in operating instructions, for example.
The mixture calculator program is based on the EU CLP Regulation which was promulgated on 31 December 2008, it being amended and supplemented by several regulations, last by the 6th ATP, regulation No. 605/2014 from June 5, 2014. Exemption: The 4th ATP (June 2013) has not yet been integrated and it is anticipated that this will take place this autumn (2014).
The mixture calculator should assist the familiarisation of the users in the company with GHS in addition to it especially assisting with the obtaining of a correct classification with regard to mixtures which are made internally, this correct classification forming the basis for numerous occupational safety measures. The classification of the mixture hereby relies to a great degree on the information provided by the user concerning the classification of the ingredients, together with additional information made by the user, depending on the hazard class. The responsibility for the correctness and completeness of this data lies with the chemicals manufacturer or distributor (as far as the data for the used substances is concerned) and with the user himself. If the safety data sheets should not provide adequate information concerning certain aspects, or should the information be contradictory, then the user has a responsibility to obtain all of the required information which is required from the distributor in the scope of his duty to obtain information.
It is expressly pointed out that the body responsible for GisChem provides no guarantee whatsoever concerning the correctness of the classification and labelling which is determined by the mixture calculator. The exclusion of a guarantee and of liability (see here) which has validity for GisChem also has full validity here.
