Requirements for specific uses
The Chemicals Risk Reduction Ordinance (ORRChem) is a basin for special provisions. These are enacted when the general provisions of the Chemicals Ordinance (ChemO) are insufficient. The ORRChem contains two appendices with restrictions and prohibitions for the manufacture, placing on the market or use of certain substances and preparations and articles containing them.
Appendix 2 defines restrictions for certain areas of application, in particular:
Electrical and electronic equipment
Wood-based materials (plywood)
To provide an easier overview, the restrictions and bans in terms of the ORRChem for certain substances, preparations and articles are summarised in tabular form in the following two pdf downloads.
