Chemical and Material Blacklist

Chemical compounds, which are only to be used to a limited extent

This list contains chemical compounds, which:

-          are expected to become banned within the near future.

-          are given priority to be handled specially, on the Danish Environmental Protection Agency’s Inventory of undesirable substances.

The use of products that contain one or several of the chemical compounds on the below list must be controlled at AVN Energy. Furthermore, more gentle alternatives regarding safety and environment should be searched for when it is considered technically and financially justifiable.

Before use of a product containing one or several of the chemical compounds on the list, it must be considered if it is possible to use an alternative, which is gentler.

Any person who introduces a new product at AVN Energy is responsible for examining if the product contains one or several of the chemical compounds on the list and if this is the case, the person must initiate an assessment of the possibility of substituting the product with a gentler alternative.
