Procedure descriptions

Application for authorisation or notification of the supply/provision of hazardous substances and mixtures in accordance with ChemVerbotsV as well as change notifications in the event of a change of competent person

The Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance (ChemVerbotsV) contains in particular requirements for the commercial placing on the market, supply or provision of certain hazardous substances and mixtures. This includes the need for authorisation or notification of such activities.

A licence from the competent authority must be obtained before certain hazardous substances or mixtures are dispensed or made available (Section 6 (1) ChemVerbotsV). Pharmacies and the exclusive supply to the following group of recipients are exempt from this requirement.

Easier requirements apply for supply to resellers, professional users and public research, testing and teaching institutions. Instead of a licence, the competent authority must be notified in writing of the first commercial supply or provision of the substances or mixtures before this activity commences (Section 7 (1) ChemVerbotsV).

Annex 2 of the ChemVerbotsV specifies which substances or mixtures are affected by these requirements.

Competent persons who fulfil the requirements listed below are required for both the permit and the notification. The competent authority must be notified immediately in writing of any change of qualified person(s) (Section 6 (3) and Section 7 (2) ChemVerbotsV).
