Advisory Committee on Sustainability

The purpose of the Advisory Committee on Sustainability (ACS) is to provide a forum for the academic program, facility planning, and campus operating interests in sustainability. By increasing awareness of the members strengths in these areas, and identifying areas for further improvement, the campus continues to define itself as a leader in the earth sciences, while employing the principles of environmental stewardship in its own operations.

Sustainability can be defined as the ability to meet the needs of the present while living within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystems and without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Acceptable Daily Intake

Limit that indicates the amount of a substance that can accept a consumer and daily life with no apparent damage to the health. The ADI is obtained by dividing the NOAEL by a safety factor of at least 100 If the NOAEL for example, at 1500 mg / kg body weight, then runs a for man from acceptable daily intake of 15 mg / kg body weight.

The CLP Regulation (for 'classification, labeling and packaging') is the basic EU law, which regulates the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures in the European Union (EU) or the (EEA).

Close

The EU CLP Regulation adopts in modified form the legalized Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) (GHS) system of the United Nations (UN). The GHS system (Globally Harmonized System of Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Chemicals), in turn, carries the needs of the globalized world community statement, a single system to classify chemicals, including labels and safety data sheets to establish. Therefore, the terms CLP and GHS (or system) are used interchangeably. The CLP Regulation knows - as opposed to REACH - no thresholds, making even the smallest quantities gültig. CLP Regulation provisions shall apply only from the marketing of the substances or preparations (REACH regulates production)..

"Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals"

Aufbau des GHS
Das GHS sieht so genannte Gefahrenklassen (hazard classes) vor, welche die Art der Gefahr beschreiben. GHS umfasst 16 Gefahrenklassen für physikalische Eigenschaften (etwa explosiv oder auf Metalle korrosiv wirkend), zehn für die menschliche Gesundheit (etwa akut toxisch oder karzinogen) und eine für die Umwelt (gewässergefährdend).
 
Die Gefahrenklassen werden in Abhängigkeit vom Gefährdungspotenzial eines Stoffes in Gefahrenkategorien (hazard categories) unterteilt.

The revision improves consistency and quality of information that is provided to both employers and employees concerning chemical hazards and protective measures related to chemical hazards. The former HCS Version is from 1994 , and the actual Version 2012

Independant investigation boards of the United States, Canada, Sweden and the Netherlands combined to form the International Transportation Safety Association (ITSA) at Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. Nowadays ITSA is composed of 14 independent investigation boards from various countries. ITSA was founded on the notion that independent non-judicial investigations of transportation accidents contribute significantly to the safety of the travelling public and the environment as well as that there is a need for an international organization, that brings together accident investigation agencies in all modes of transportation.
The mission of ITSA is therefore to improve transport safety in each member country by learning from the experiences of others.

Safety Data Sheet.

SDS stands for the safety data sheet (The GHS has dropped the word “material” from material safety data sheet. It will now be called the safety data sheet or SDS) is specifically aimed at use in the workplace. It should provide comprehensive information about the chemical product that allows employers and workers to obtain concise, relevant and accurate information that can be put in perspective with regard to the hazards, uses and risk management of the chemical product in the workplace.

The GHS SDS headings, sequence and content are similar to the ISO, EU and ANSI MSDS/SDS requirements. The SDS should provide a clear description of the data used to identify the hazards. There is a table comparing the content and format of a current MSDS/SDS versus the GHS SDS provided in Appendix A of the OSHA GHS guidance document available at their website www.osha.gov

Please note: The European Union has not regulated the issue "Safety data sheet" within CLP-guidelines, it has regulated it within REACh-guidelines. (regards to content).

WTO is the multinational organization for global trade, run by its member governments. WTO agreements require governments to make their trade policies transparent by notifying the WTO about laws in force and measures adopted. The WTO agreements cover goods, services and intellectual property. They spell out the principles of liberalization, and the permitted exceptions. They include individual countries’ commitments to lower customs tariffs and other trade barriers, and to open and keep open services markets.
