Introduction
According to REACH Art. 37(5) downstream users of chemical substances shall identify, apply and
where suitable, recommend, appropriate measures to adequately control risks identified in the safety
data sheet supplied to them. This identification and application of the appropriate measures is often
called a compliance check.
In this Annex to the SDS we have gathered all relevant exposure scenarios for the substance
hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD). In order for you to perform your compliance check an overview
table is given below (Table 1) of all uses of HBCDD that were identified and for which an exposure
scenario was generated. After you have localised your use in the table, you should check your
compliance with the conditions described in the corresponding exposure scenario further down in this
document.
All assessments were carried out using the modeling tools ECETOC TRA (for human exposure) and
EUSES (for environmental exposure). For human health, should you not be able to demonstrate
compliance with the conditions described in the exposure scnearios below, there is an option to
perform scaling running ECETOC TRA with your own data. Since scaling is not allowed with EUSES
for environmental health1, your options in case of non-compliance are either to contact your supplier or
to prepare your own Downstream User Chemical Safety Report.
1
The complexity of the EUSES model is of such a nature that it cannot be guaranteed that the Downstream User
has used the exact same parameter values as the registrant (besides the plant-specific data he has input), allowing a
correct scaling to be performed.

Exposure Scenario 2a: Manufacture of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and EPS articles. The flame retardant, expanded polystyrene (EPS) is manufactured by mixing the registered substance
(HBCDD) with styrene at low temperatures before charging into a reactor and polymerising at reaction
temperature. HBCDD is trapped within the polymer matrix during polymerisation. An expansion agent
is added to the reactor during the reaction and is absorbed by the polymer droplets (or beads).
Manufacture of EPS beads takes place within a closed system with little potential for exposure. EPS
beads can be used on-site to manufacture EPS articles, or can be stored, bagged/packaged and shipped
to an EPS article manufacturer.
Two different life cycle stages are distinguished in the Exposure Scenario: Manufacture of the
expanded polystyrene and manufacture of expanded polystyrene articles.

Risk Management Measures Technical on-­‐site conditions and measures to limit or reduce discharges, air emissions and releases to soil EPS manufacture: All manufacturing facilities use an on-­‐site STP to clean up waste-­‐water. Releases via dust to air must be reduced, by filtering exhaust gases. Manufacture of EPS articles: The main release to soil is through disposal of contaminated packaging to landfill. This release can be reduced or eliminated by sending contaminated packaging to incineration. Emissions to air are minimal, however can be regulated by scrubbing and filtering emission gases (not required) Conditions and measures related to waste water treatment Size of STP (m3/day)
2,000 Degradation potential of the substance Inherently biodegradable
Conditions and measures related to external treatment of waste for disposal EPS manufacture:
Waste water (daily emission: 4.4g/day for both manufacture of EPS and manufacture of EPS articles) can be treated by
on-site or municipal STP. The registered substance is not harmful to sewage micro-organisms and is rapidly degraded in
anaerobic conditions.
Solid waste such as contaminated packaging is expected to be sent to incineration.
Manufacture of EPS articles:
A STP connection rate of 80% is assumed for the total, regional and continental release estimation.
Conditions and measures related to external recovery of waste
Not available, recovery of the registered substance from aqueous and solid wastes is not commercially feasible at the
present time due to the low concentration of the registered substance in waste streams.

18,000 Degradation potential of the substance Inherently biodegradable
Conditions and measures related to external treatment of waste for disposal at the end of service life 100% of the EPS insulation board is discarded at the end of the life cycle (~20-50 years). 30-50% of the EPS in insulation
boards is expected to be recycled while 50-70% is expected to go to landfill.
An unknown amount of EPS insulation board is incinerated, either in unregulated burning (example: bonfires at
households or at construction/demolition sites).
Conditions and measures related to external recovery of waste
Approximately 30-50% of the EPS insulation board is expected to be recycled. No labelling for recovered EPS material is
currently available. Polymer waste streams are expected to be contaminated with HBCDD in low concentrations.

TRA dustiness: low
Physical property: solid (encapsulated in articles) Amounts used Covers percentage substance in the product up to 0.7 % Frequency and duration of use/exposure Covers daily exposures up to 8 hours Other given operational conditions affecting workers exposure Indoor and outdoor use Technical conditions and measures at process level (source) to prevent release during service life The substance is bound within the polymer matrix reducing the amount of substance released to the environment.
Conditions and measures at level of article production to prevent release during service life
EPS insulation boards are ‘cured’ for approximately 1 week prior to supply for use. The HBCDD contained within the
EPS insulation board is bound within the polymer matrix and is not expected to be bio-available. The EPS beads make the
EPS insulation board friable during sawing and abrasive cutting, particles produced are not expected to be of an inhalable
size. Any amount of the registered substance within the particles created would be held within the polymer matrix of the
particles and would not be available for exposure.
Human factors not influenced by risk management
Exposure to the registered substance is negligible during installation of EPS articles as the substance will be held within
the polymer matrix. Any residual or settled amount of the registered substance on the surface of the EPS article or any
release during cutting of the EPS article is expected to be negligible as the substance is present at a maximum
concentration of 0.7 % in the EPS beads.
Conditions and measures related to personal protection, hygiene and health evaluation
Not available
Due to the size and weight of the EPS particulates formed during cutting and installation of the EPS board (>10μm)
dermal exposure is considered to be the only significant route of exposure from particulates.
Additional good practice advice beyond REACH Chemical Safety Assessment
Sweep up any particles/beads of EPS created during cutting and dispose of to incineration or landfill.

Exposure Scenario 4a: Manufacture of High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) and masterbatch and manufacture of HIPS articles High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) can be manufactured either by the mixing of HBCDD into the
polystyrene at the desired formulation or in higher concentrations to create a “masterbatch” which can
then be blended with ‘virgin’ polystyrene to create HIPS with the desired concentration of the
registered substance.
HIPS articles are manufactured by extrusion, moulding and/or cutting/shaping to form the desired
shape.
This exposure scenario covers both the actual manufacturing of HIPS and the manufacturing of HIPS

Exposure Scenario 6a: Manufacture of Flexible Elastomeric Foam (FEF) and FEF articles. This exposure scenario covers both the actual manufacturing of Flexible Elastomeric Foam (FEF) and
the manufacturing of FEF articles. The manufacture of FEF and FEF articles takes place in closed and
partially-open systems. Although opportunity for exposure arises in some systems, such exposure is
limited and can be reduced by correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other risk
management measures. The formulated FEF is either applied to surfaces by low energy techniques
such as rolling or extruded and shaped to form finished articles.
As with the manufacture of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) articles any
exposure to workers is expected through the dermal route during the cutting and handling of the
extruded FEF articles. Environmental emission data has been based upon the measured known
emission data for the total emission of HBCDD for all uses for the whole EU area and the estimated
tonnage for this use.

6b.3. Exposure estimation and reference to its source 6b.3.1. Exposure estimations contributing scenario for ENVIRONMENT Tool used for evaluation Expert judgement Considerations The soft rubber which FEF is made from ensures that the registered substance will be contained within the polymer matrix during installation and use. In addition to this no particulate emissions will be generated from the cutting of FEF articles during installation or removal. There is therefore no anticipated release of HBCDD during the use or life-­‐
cycle of FEF articles. Wastes generated from cutting and installation of the FEF articles and at the end of the service-­‐life are likely to be sent to landfill. The substance has a high molecular weight and is therefore expected to remain trapped within the polymer matrix. Should any of the HBCDD be released through degradation of the polymer matrix leachates are unlikely to be formed, based upon the highly insoluble nature of the substance in water.

Guidance to DU to evaluate whether he works inside the boundaries set by the ES 7.4.1. Guidance to DU to evaluate whether he works inside the boundaries set by contributing scenario for ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE Environmental exposure has been evaluated using the EUSES model. Within the conditions described above, there are no further limitations on the use of the substance in additional formulation use. 7.4.2. Guidance to DU to evaluate whether he works inside the boundaries set by contributing scenario for WORKER EXPOSURE The workers exposure has been evaluated using ECETOC TRA integrated tool version 2. Evaluate whether you work within the boundaries of the operational conditions and risk management measures described in the tables above. Within those conditions safe use was shown. Should you however not be able to demonstrate compliance with the conditions described above, scaling of the results is possible using the ECETOC TRA model that was run to generate the above assessment.
