Articles under Scrutiny: Meeting the Challenges of SCIP Submissions
 - Hosted by Beth Bidstrup and John Hayes

Any company supplying or selling product in the EU articles containing Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) on the ECHA Candidate List in concentration above 0.1% weight to weight (w/w) must submit information on these articles to ECHA’s Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects (Products) (SCIP) database. The products can range from wires and batteries up to very complex articles such as televisions or motor vehicles.  Meeting your obligations can be challenging, so join the forum to learn more about the requirements for articles in the EU and be part of a conversation to discuss and share ideas, best practices, and challenges.

The Mystery of Section 13 
- Hosted by Denese Deeds and Chandra Gioiello

Section 13 is a mystery to most SDS authors. While SDS recipients ask for specifics, hazardous waste professionals know there are no easy answers. Can we say anything more than “Dispose in accordance with local, state and federal regulations?” Is the danger in giving too much advice? We will discuss these and other riddles that may or may not have answers. Join in the discuss and share your thoughts. We will learn from each other.

Helping your Hazard Assessments 
- Hosted by Ari Lewis and Ian Hadley

Developing high-quality hazard assessments is critical for communicating the toxicity chemicals. It can be a resource-intensive and time-consuming exercise--information provided by suppliers is often inadequate, new toxicity information is constantly being developed, and experts can disagree on how to interpret the same set of information.  At the same time, some chemicals have very limited or no toxicity information. This  forum will delve into some of the best practices for conducting a scientifically-supportable hazard assessment, with an emphasis identifying relevant toxicity information and documenting defensible classification conclusions.

Classification Pitfalls for Mineral-Containing Products 
- Hosted by Jeffrey Krause and Gill Pagliuca

This forum will explore common pitfalls in describing and classifying mineral-containing products. We will discuss how to recognize inappropriate test data used to describe product components, how those errors can lead to presenting inapplicable toxicology data and incorrect classifications, and the enormously important differences between US and EU classifications relevant to the most abundant mineral in the Earth’s crust.
