REACH Guidance for the European Steel Industry RIPs: REACH Implementation Programmes are technical guidance documents which aim to provide the necessary tools/information to ensure that the obligations and requirements of REACH are effectively administered. SDS: Safety Data Sheets are one of the primary tools in hazard communication. They provide the user with the information needed to carry out a suitable risk assessment for their application. SIEFs: Substance Information Exchange Fora, as outlined in Article 29 of the official text, allow groups of producers, importers and users of substances to join together and register a substance between them in a consortium. SVHC: Substances of very high concern are: - carcinogens (category 1 and 2) - mutagens (category 1 and 2) - substances which are toxic to reproduction (category 1 and 2) - persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic substances (PBTs), - very persistent and very bio-accumulative substances (vPvBs) - substances identified from scientific evidence as causing equivalent concern to those mentioned above, for example substances which disturb the hormone system (endocrine disruptors) Technical Dossier: Contains information on the properties, uses and on the classification of a substance as well as guidance on its safe use. vPvB: Substances of very high concern that are very persistent (very difficult to break down), very bioaccumulative (very liable to accumulate in our bodies or in animals' bodies). Those substances are subject to authorisation. September 2009 24
