Maintenance programs – Program adjustmentsChemGes – Update 01/2021 - page 23 Upon clicking on the magnifying glass next to the option, ChemGes will show information regarding the listed ingredients of the preparation: Note: The ingredients and percentages can only be changed directly in the SDS. If the output on the SDS is activated for a preparation, then the two additional statements A08 and A09, are calculated (if necessary) and output on the SDS and the label. The percentages are output on the SDS, because Annex I defines limits. Annex II defines no limits, and we thus defined a default value of 1%. This limit can be adjusted as desired, in the Maintenance of substance listings (see 2b) New inventories and lists, page 13) in the field Transfer of the substance from ...% : Example – Output on the SDS:
ChemGes – Update 01/2021 - page 24 8. GISCodes This update implements the updated GISCodes ([Hazardous Substance Information System by the German BG BAU (Berufsgenossenschaft der Bauwirtschaft, Employer's Liability Insurance Association)]). 9. Turkey – GHS-Regulation This update implemented the substance descriptions, H- and P-Phrases, Class and Category descriptions, Hazard codes, as well as label texts according to Maddelerin Ve Karişimlarin Siniflandirilmasi, Etiketlenmesi Ve Ambalajlanmasi Hakkinda Yönetmelikte Değişiklik Yapilmasina Dair Yönetmelik (Sayı: 31330, 10.12.20) in ChemGes. The implementation period of the regulation (Status 8. ATP) ends as of 01.01.2023. ChemGes will automatically activate this regulation on that day and will inform the users of this with a notification. Of course, the conversion to the 8.ATP for Turkey can be activated at any time ( Maintenance programs – Various tables – Countries – Field GHS classification type). 10. Israel We have implemented Hebrew for the SDS into our language repertoire. Furthermore, the Hebrew GHS-texts according to SI 2302 – Part 1 , סיווג:חומרים ותערובות מסוכנים סימון ואריזה,( תיוויDangerous substances and mixtures: Classification, labelling, marking and packaging) were newly implemented. 11. CLP, 17. ATP The changes according to the 17. ATP (2021/849/EU) are already available in ChemGes. These changes consist of the following: - Adoption of changed and new classifications - Adoption of new descriptions The settings regarding the 17. ATP can be imported into ChemGes, as follows:
ChemGes – Update 01/2021 - page 25 Please note that the 14. and 15. ATP will be automatically transferred when you transfer the 17. ATP, unless you have already transferred them in advance. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TRANSFER: You can perform the transfer at any point in time. If the query at the start of the transfer is answered with “NO”, the transfer can be accessed also at a later time. Please note that the transfer cannot be undone. Information after transfer: Please be aware of possibly altered classification information for raw materials and mixtures. The list of amended raw materials is output in the program directory (usually chem) as a text file (CAS 17.ATP.txt). ChemGes provides several possibilities to produce lists of substances/preparations that have a changed classification (and thus a changed SDS) and to update SDSs with a bulk printing. 1) Administration programs – Classification programs – Reclassification of formulations: This program item opens a screen, where you can enter the default file name "CAS 17.ATP.txt" and its path in the field File with CAS numbers. In addition, this screen allows you to perform either a test calculation (generating a list) or a final recalculation (with or without protocol). First, select the item Only test calculation (default setting). Then, go to File – Printer selection (upper menu bar) and select any available printer software (Adobe PDF Writer or similar) to output the list of affected preparations as a pdf-file. The printed list includes all preparations, which contain the affected raw materials, with the labelling information before and after the alteration, so that you can simulate the exact effects. Once you are ready, you can run the reclassification without the option of the test calculation. 2) Printout and queries – List of Safety Data Sheets: Go to Printout and queries – Safety Data Sheets and select the requested printing program for the bulk print of SDSs (for example SDSs chosen by different selection criteria). Output: Select the desired printing program and go to File – Printer selection. Select any available printer software (Adobe PDF Writer or similar) to output the list of SDSs as pdf-file. Press to start the program.
