These exclusion lists of ipaterials have been based on health and safety matters in the day~to-day production and marketing of printing inks and associated products employing good manufacturing firactices. In view of the increasingly international n.i.ture of the European printing ink and associated industries, the CEPE European Technical Committee "Printing Inks" has produced and is fully supporting, a common exclusion list of raw materials for the European Printing Ink industry. Although this concept is of considerable benefit to printing ink manufacturers, printers and their customers. the following comments need to be emphasised to practically apply the concept. I. Exclusion lists based on selection criteria and individual a~sessment have been widely used by printing ink manufacturers and their customers. Although they are recommendations and do not have legal obligations, the CEPE exclusion list has the full suppmt of all of its printing ink manufacturer members. 2. The raw materials or components thereof excluded by the present list fall into two categories : • Substances previously used or relevant in the formulation of printing inks that must be avoided in consideration of the selection criteria ( sections A to C ) or the substances list ( sections D to G ) . • Substances never used in and irrelevant to the formulation of printing inks about which questions have nevertheless been received from time to time by printing ink manufacturers ( sections Hand!). 3. The majority of raw materials used in printing inks .is produced under commercial industrial conditions and may contain unavoidable impurities, mostly in trace quantities. As some of these impurities may be on the exclusion list, every effort is made to ensure that they are at a minimum level . , 4. The: CEPE exclusion list will be under frequent review by the European Technical Committee l<Printing Inks" and ma?' be amended, where appropriate, in the light of new data on safety. health and environmental matters. The following categories and individual substances are excluded as raw materials or components of raw materials ( except when present as impurities ) for the manufacture 'of printing inks and related products supplied to printers : Selecdon criteria A. Carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for reproduction substances classified and labelled as toxic (T) according to the Dangerous Substanc.es Directive 67/548/EEC with risk phrases R 45, R 46, R 49, R 60, R 61. B. Substances classified and labelled as very toxic ( T + ) or toxic (T) according to the Dangerous Substances Directive 67/548/EEC with risk phrases R 23, R 24, R 25, R 26, R 27, R 28, R 39, R 48. C. Pigment colourants based on and compounds of antimonr, arsenic~ cadmium, chromium (VI) "*,lead**, mercury, selenium. Substances list D. Dye colourants: ( Basic Yellow 2 Cl 41000) Auramine ( Basic Orange 2 Cl 11270) Chrysoidine ( Basic Violet 14 Cl 42510) Fuchsine ( Solvent Blue 7 Cl 50400) lnduline ( Basic Brown 4 Cl 21010) Cresylene Brown Other soluble azo dyes .which can decompose in the body to bio-available carcinogenic aromatic amines of category 1 and 2 acq,rding to Directive 67/548/EEC. E. Solvents: 2 - Methoxyethanol 2 - Ethoxyethanol 2 - Methoxyethyl acetate 2- Ethoxyethyl acetate Monochlorobenzene Dichlorobenzene Volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as trichloraethylcne, perchlorcthylene and methylene chloride Volatile fluoroclllorinated hydrocarbons 2- Nitropropane Methanol F. Plasticisers : Chlorinated naphthalenes Chlorinated paraffins Monocresyl phosphate Tricresyl phosphate Monocresyl diphenyl phosphate G. Vaiious Compounds: Dlaminestilbene and derivatives 2,4 • Dimethyl-6-tertiary -butylphenol 4,4 Tetramethyldiaminobenzophenone ( Michler's Ketone) Hexachlorocyclohex$ne IN ADDITION, SUBSTANCES for which questions are addressed to the printing ink manufacturers H. which are not permitted according to Directive 76/769/fIBC (relating to the restriction of the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations) and its amendments, such as: Asbestos Benzene Pentachlorophenol and its salts Polyc;hlorinated biphenyls (PCB) Polycblorinated Tezphenyls (PCT) Vinyl chloride monomer I. which are not commercially available or not suitable for the &:!!Julation of printing inks and related materials such as : Brominated flame retardants Dioxines Nitrosamines Polybrominated bi- or terphenyls Polychlorinated dibenzofuranes * With the 1~xception of non-bio-available antimony titanate present in titanium dioxide pigments and of- organic derivatives not classified nor labelled as T or T :t ** W.ith the exception of lead pigments used for certain screen and decor inks where specific resistance properties are needed. , The list of R - phrases mentioned under A and B "is in the Annex Ill of the Dangerous Substances Directive 67 /548/EEC - see Directive 93/21/EEC; O.J. 110 A of 4.5.93.
