UK Chlorinated Solvent Working Group 

Solvent Emissions Regulations for Surface Cleaning with 

Chlorinated Solvents 

Purpose 

As a result of the new Solvent Emissions Regulations 2004 1 (the “SED Regulations”), 

which came into force on 20 January 2004, a number of manufacturers and suppliers 

of chlorinated solvents and cleaning equipment using chlorinated solvents who have 

been involved with the consultation process, have agreed to issue the following 

simplified interpretation of the SED Regulations. This interpretation is intended to 

assist users of chlorinated solvents for surface cleaning in compliance with this 

complex regulation. This information should not be used without reference to the 

regulations 1 and guidance issued by DEFRA 2,3,4,5 or similar regulations in 

Scotland. 6,7,8 

Actions for surface cleaning users: 

Trichloroethylene is not banned by the SED Regulations – however, because of its 

Category 2 Carcinogen classification, it needs to be managed so as to minimise 

exposure and emissions 

Below a 1 te/yr Consumption threshold, as defined by the SED Regulations, the SER 

does not apply, and therefore achievement of Emission Limit Values (ELVs) and 

substitution is not required. 9 

Trichloroethylene (R45 risk phrase solvent) 

If you are currently unregulated and using > 1 te/yr trichloroethylene you must apply 

to your local authority for a variation notice and submit a proposed substitution plan 

by 20 May 2004. 

If you are already regulated and using > 1 te/yr trichloroethylene your substitution 

plan should have been submitted by 22 March 2003. 

According to DEFRA guidance 2 users must demonstrate that they have taken steps to 

substitute risk phrase substances like trichloroethylene in the shortest possible time. In 

determining the shortest possible time the user “will need to justify their timetable 

taking into account of the technical or economic feasibility of the substitution. In 

identifying the use of substitutes, operators and regulators must consider: fitness for 

use, potential effects on human health, potential effects on the environment, and the 

economic consequence, in particular the costs and benefits of the options available.” 

If substitution is not feasible then the Emission Limit Values of the SED Regulations 

need to be achieved within the shortest possible time and no later than 31 October 

2007.

Perchloroethylene and Methylene Chloride (R40 Halogenated Solvents) 

If you are currently unregulated and using > 1 te/yr of the R40 labelled halogenated 

solvents, registration is needed by 31 October 2006 with full compliance by 31 

October 2007. 

If you are already regulated and using > 1 te/yr of the R40 labelled halogenated 

solvents, it is possible that the regulators will expect compliance with SED 

Regulations emission limit values within the shortest possible time. 

For all the above-mentioned chlorinated solvents 

Reduction of Consumption to below 1 te/yr can enable users to avoid the need to 

comply with the SED Regulations. 9 However, the SED Regulations apply to most 

solvents and their industrial applications, so other activities on the same site may 

bring it back into the scope of the legislation. 

The reduction scheme provided for in the SED Regulations does not apply to the risk 

phrase solvents, and R40 halogenated solvents. 

The “shortest possible time” is not further defined in the SED Regulations and the 

DEFRA guidance on this is quoted above. It is expected that the regulators will 

consider this on a case-by-case basis. 

Opportunities for substitution will often be process or installation specific, and will 

therefore need to be considered on a case-by-case basis. When proposing their plans, 

users will need to consider: 

adequate technical arguments justifying why substitution may not be feasible; 

the substitution plan may include reduction of Consumption to below 1 te/yr.

“You asked about circumstances in which the amount of risk solvent used was so reduced that 

amount fell below the limits in Annex II [of the SED]. In those circumstances, there would no 

longer be an obligation under the SED to replace the risk phrase solvents. Nor any obligation 

to meet any other obligation under the SED. Although, of course, any other legislation 

relevant to the use of these solvents would continue to apply.”

VAPOUR DEGREASING 

SAFE WORKING PROCEDURE FOR TRICHLOROETHYLENE DEGREASING 

INTRODUCTION 

This Manuel has been formulated and published following the COSHH Assessment 

on the safe use of Trichloroethylene as a degreasing agent for metallic components. 

Employees are reminded of their duties and responsibilities in co-operating with 

Management in meeting the statutory requirements imposed upon them. 

In order to emphasise the dangers and precautions to be observed, the Company has 

produced and provided this safety manual on degreasing which is published in the 

interests of health and safety. 

Solvents, chemicals, etc used in the Company for cleaning, can be harmful but are 

safe if used correctly. 

Many of the things with which we come into contact every day can be harmful if they 

are not used or handled correctly. For example, we accept electricity as an essential 

part of every day life. Properly used it is absolutely safe, but we all know what can 

happen if we take unnecessary chances. 

This document is provided for your safety, and must be followed to reduce the risk to 

both your health and the health of your colleagues. 

GENERAL SAFETY 

1. The basic points of SAFETY, are easy to understand: 

a) Learn the safe way of doing each job. 

b) If you do not understand – ask for guidance. 

c) If you have not been taught – ask for instructions. 

d) Use the safe method in practice. 

e) Use the safety equipment and clothing made available. 

f) Be constantly on guard against careless actions. 

g) Practice good housekeeping at all times. 

h) Report all accidents, however minor, to your supervisor. 

i) Report anything you cannot correct yourself. 

j) Prevention is better than cure. 

2. Most accidents are not difficult to understand. They arise because: 

a) sharp edges cut. 

b) heat and flames burn. 

c) chemicals destroy or poison. 

d) machinery traps fingers. 

e) anything moving can crush. 

f) anything heavy can fall on you. 

g) chemicals can be poisonous. 

h) electricity can burn or kill. 

i) eyes are particularly vulnerable.

SOME DO’S AND DON’TS IN OPERATING DEGREASING UNITS 

Don’t: 

• after turning off the heating wait until the plant is cold and the vapour blanket has 

fallen to within a few centimetres of the liquid level. 

• lean into degreasing units to use them. 

• lift the work baskets above the rim ventilation when draining work. Bring the load 

out slowly after draining. 

• forget to wear goggles when opening a fresh drum of Triklone or filling the 

degreaser. 

• smoke, partake of food and drink or allow flames to be present in the vicinity of 

degreasing plant under any circumstances. 

• carry or store trichloroethylene in an open container or use it for cold degreasing. 

Do: 

• ensure that all Triklone compartments are kept at the correct level and, where 

applicable, that the spill over of Triklone is taking place. 

• report all spillage’s immediately to a person responsible, if in doubt evacuate the 

area. 

• make sure that the work is correctly jigged to drain completely. 

OVERALL PERCAUTION 

‘ No smoking’ signs are displayed on all degreasing units since Triklone vapour, 

if drawn through a pipe or cigarette, will create a toxic gas. 

FILLING THE PLANT WITH SOLVENTS 

1. Make sure you are using the correct solvent. 

2. Before filling make sure that: 

a) cleaning doors are properly jointed and in position. 

b) drain valves are closed. 

c) rim ventilation fan is switched on. 

Always vent drums of solvent carefully to release any pressure; this will also stop the 

surge or splashing from the drum exit tap. 

3. Whenever possible, put the solvent into the tank with a pump never leave the 

pump unattended during filling operations. Use a pump. There is a risk of solvent 

spillage if the hose slips out of the plant. 

4. Make sure drums are moved using proper equipment and that they are secure 

when they are lifted. Fill direct from the drum through a valve and a length of 

pipework. The drum must never be held directly over the tank. 

Never use compressed air for emptying drums. 

Do not use open containers such as buckets or bowls to carry solvents always use 

a pump. Make sure the liquid is cold before transporting it. 

2


The plant must be cold before adding solvent to avoid: 

a) Rapid surge of vapour which may spill over the top of the plant. 

b) Unsafe levels of solvent vapour in the surrounding atmosphere. 

HEATING SYSTEMS 

Electrical Heating Systems 

1. Turn on fume extractor (rim ventilation). 

2. Turn heater switch to on position. 

HANDLING WORK IN THE PLANT 

1. Always make sure that the slots are not blocked. 

2. Regular checks are important to ensure correct gap is maintained in rim 

ventilation. 

3. Slots must be kept clean from working dirt and fluff. 

4. Do switch off the plant if the bottom safety cut-out is not covered by solvent. 

LOADING AND UNLOADING WORK AT THE DEGREASER 

1) Use the mechanical hoist at all times. 

2) Raise clean work at this same rate or slower. (Allow solvent to drain in the free 

board area before lifting out of tank). 

3) At all time avoid personal contact with solvent and vapour and do not breath it in. 

4) It is important to place articles/components etc in the work baskets or on the jigs 

so that they can drain easily. 

SHUTTING DOWN THE PLANT 

1. All work must be removed from the tank. 

2. Switch off heating system. Allow the plant to cool (vapour will then drop). 

CLEANING OUT PROCEDURE 

Solvent recovery and plant clean out. Dirty solvent will increase the starting up 

time and the boiling rate will decrease. 

1. Shut down plant by turning plant off. Switch of the rim ventilation fan and auto 

top up solenoid valve. 

2. Plant must be allowed to cool down to room temperature for a minimum of 12 

hours, preferably overnight. 

3. Drain off or pump all of the contaminated solvent from stage 3 by a recognised 

method, into containers designated for the disposal of contaminated solvent and 

remove sludge/solids etc. 

4. Clean out compartment. Never use bare hands. Do use protective clothing, i.e.: 

eye protection, hand protection, aprons and wellingtons, respiratory protective 

equipment, etc. 

3


5. Replace gasket (if seal is broken) on sludge door, and refit to plant. Do check 

there is no leakage after refitting the gasket on the sludge door. 

6. Always make sure the plant is cool before topping up with solvent. 

7. Do not enter the plant or pit unless you have the authority from management and 

have been issued with breathing apparatus. If entry to plant is authorised and 

breathing apparatus (self-contained) is used a second man should always be in 

attendance for any emergency action. 

8. Whilst removing sludge etc, from degreasing equipment during cleaning 

operations, a respirator type vistarama mask with twin filters, (appropriate to 

the solvent) must be worn with other appropriate protective clothing. 

DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED SOLVENTS 

Drain off contaminated solvent from the tank and place into designated containers 

duly marked ‘ CONTAMINATED SOLVENT TRIKE’. 

Store containers outside in a safe place away from any steam, drain or sewer and 

away from direct sunlight. 

Organise the disposal of the material with a properly licensed waste disposal 

Company (keep a copy of their license on file). 

It is the responsibility of site management to dispose of waste materials. Waste must 

not be allowed to build up. Spillage’s or leakage’s must be contained with sand or 

earth and transferred to sealed containers to be collected by an authorised licensed 

carrier. 

UNIT IN ACIDIC STATE 

Three main problems may arise: 

1. the plant body will deteriorate in condition. 

2. the work will become tarnished. 

3. The composition of the solvent fumes which may occasionally occur in the 

atmosphere, even to a small degree, will change and could be considered more of 

a health risk. In simple terms, such fumes will take on a sickly type of smell. 

4. Suspicious or acidic state conditions should be reported to quality supervisor for 

appropriate test. 

ACID PLANT – DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES 

In the event of a plant turning acidic through inefficient and/or lack of cleaning 

out, the following decontamination procedure should be adopted and supervised: 

1. Empty solvent from plant and clean out (as per cleaning procedure laid down). 

2. Replace sludge door and fill plant with water up to the top of each compartment 

and back concentrator where applicable. 

3. Light up plant in normal manner (see procedure). 

4. When water starts to boil add soda to the extent of ½ Ib. per gallon of water i.e.: 

approximately 40 Ibs. 

4


5. Swill and clean coils and sides of plant above water level with brush. 

6. After 24 hours boiling time, turn off the power and shut the plant down. 

7. Pump water out of the plant down tank drain. Dry plant out and fill with new 

solvent. 

8. This procedure should be carried out on each unit approximately every 

twelve months (This will depend on production cycles). 

EVACUATION PROCEDURE 

In the event of any serious incident from spillage’s or leaks of solvent, the area 

must be evacuated immediately, ensuring: 

1. that the total complement of the area affected is aware of the evacuation. 

Supervisors must ensure that checks are made to stop persons entering the affected 

area. 

2. that the area to which personnel are evacuated has access to fresh air. 

3. that the Director and First Aiders are informed as soon as a decision is declared to 

evacuate, thereby enabling them to assist where necessary. 

4. Senior Person Responsible: 

Must telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service (if required) and take a head 

count as soon as employees have assembled in the safe area. 

5. Information to be telephoned to the following personnel: 

a) Director 

b) Engineering Representative 

c) Divisional Director 

d) Engineering Director 

During the checks referred to in (1) above, breathing apparatus MUST be worn. 

Only personnel trained in the use of breathing apparatus may enter the effected 

area. 

BASIC FIRST AID PROCEDURES 

Treatment of those effected by over exposure to solvent 

1. Anyone suffering from over exposure should be moved into the fresh air. 

2. Get immediate medical attention. 

3. Remove any contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothes. 

4. Do not walk patient about. 

5. Lay patient on his/her side and see that his/her air passage (nose and mouth) are 

clear. 

6. Keep the patient warm and quiet. 

7. Do not give alcoholic drinks. 

BULK STORAGE TANKS OF ‘TRIKLONE’: 

The off loading procedures and the condition of the installation are now the sole 

responsibility of Carrs Management. 

5

To ensure we can demonstrate that all reasonable precautions have been taken the 

following points should be noted: 

• Triklone tank is bunded to prevent substance entering ground or water resources. 

• Bunds around all stock tanks are capable of containing 110% of the volume of the 

tank. 

• Recommend bunds have a sump which can be pumped out to remove surplus rain 

water. 

• Absorbent material i.e. sand, earth, sawdust to be stored nearby to enable minor 

spillage’s of product to be contained before it enters a drain or soil. 

• Written procedure to be adopted during filling to prevent possibility of overfill 

situations. 

• Produce written procedures for the filling process/ delivery of product. 

• Protective equipment to be made available safety glasses/gloves/footwear. 

• Provision of eyewash facilities to be located nearby installation.

Revision: 3 



Extinguishing Media 

Extinguish with foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog. 



May develop highly toxic or corrosive fumes if heated. May form explosive or toxic mixtures with air. 

Specific Hazards 

Fire or high temperatures create: Toxic gases/vapours/fumes of: Hydrogen chloride (HCl). Phosgene (COCl2). 



Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after 

the fire is out. Stay away from ends of tanks. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities. Beware, risk of formation of 

toxic and corrosive gases. 

Protective Measures In Fire 

Use protective equipment appropriate for surrounding materials. Wear suitable respiratory protection when dealing with a fire. 



Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Use respiratory protection if vapours are 

released. 


Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Inform the relevant authorities if this occurs. 


Clean-up personnel should use respiratory and/or liquid contact protection. Provide ventilation and confine spill. Do not allow runoff to 

sewer. Extinguish all ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Ventilate. Absorb spillage with suitable absorbent 

material. Collect spillage in containers, seal securely and deliver for disposal according to local regulations. 




Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid spilling, skin and eye contact. Ventilate well, avoid breathing vapours. Use 

approved respirator if air contamination is above accepted level. Do not use in confined spaces without adequate ventilation and/or 

respirator. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation may be required. Vapours are heavier than air, and can cause suffocation by 

reducing oxygen available for breathing. 


May attack some plastics, rubber and coatings. Store in closed original container in a dry place. Store in a cool and well-ventilated place. 

Store separated from: Aluminium and its alloys. Acids. Protect from light, including direct sunrays. 

Storage Class 

Toxic storage. 



Storage tanks must be positioned within a bunded area. The information contained within this Safety Data Sheet is given as a guide to the 

precautions required to maintain a safe work environment.

Protective Equipment 

Process Conditions 

Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. Provide eyewash, quick drench. Wash all splashes 

from the skin immediately. 

Engineering Measures 

Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. If enclosed handling cannot be guaranteed, ventilation and protective clothing 

must be used. 

Respiratory Equipment 

Self-contained breathing apparatus. Supplied-air respirator. Respiratory protection must be used if air contamination exceeds acceptable 

level. 

Hand Protection 

Protective gloves should be used if there is a risk of direct contact or splash. Manufactured/tested in accordance with EN 374. Determined 

penetration times carried out in accordance with EN374 part III are not performed under practical conditions, therefore, a maximum 

wearing time corresponding to 50% of the penetration time is recommended. 

Eye Protection 

Wear splash-proof eye goggles to prevent any possibility of eye contact. Manufactured/Tested in accordance with EN 166. 


Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. Provide eyewash, quick drench. Wear appropriate 

clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of liquid contact and repeated or 

prolonged vapour contact. 

Hygiene Measures 

Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Wash promptly if skin becomes wet or contaminated. 

Promptly remove any clothing that becomes wet or contaminated. Isolate contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. 

Skin Protection 

Wear apron or protective clothing in case of splashes.

Other Health Effects 

Carcinogen Category 3. 


Known or suspected carcinogen for humans. 

Inhalation 

1600 mg/kg (oral rat) 

Harmful by inhalation. Gas or vapour in high concentrations may irritate respiratory system. In high concentrations, vapours are 

anaesthetic and may cause headache, fatigue, dizziness and central nervous system effects. Very high concentrations may result in a 

loss of conciousness. Very high exposures may cause abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Methylene chloride is converted to 

carbon monoxide in the body, which reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and a raised carboxyhaemoglobin concentration in 

the blood. 

Ingestion. 

Harmful if swallowed. Adverse effects similar to inhalation effects may occur. May call blindness from swallowing amounts as low as 10ml. 

Lethal dose for man is approximately 150ml. The onset of effects may be delayed for several hours. 

Skin Contact 

Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause severe irritation. Acts as a defatting agent on skin. May cause cracking of skin, and eczema. 

Eye Contact 

Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes. May cause temporary eye irritation. 

Health Warnings 

Gas or vapour is harmful on prolonged exposure or in high concentrations. Toxic through skin absorption (percutaneous). Narcotic effect. 

CNS depressant. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause severe irritation. Acute eczematous dermatitis, contact type erythema, 

oedema, papules, vesicles, bullae, crusts, desquamation. Liver and/or kidney damage. Unconsciousness, death. 

Route of entry 

Inhalation. Skin absorption. Ingestion. Skin and/or eye contact. 

Target Organs 

Central nervous system Eyes Respiratory system, lungs Skin Heart & cardiovascular system Kidneys Liver
