| Abstract |
Ordinance TRGS 516 on antifouling paints issued in July 1996 replaces ordinance TRGS 516 of October 1989. It pertains to the handling, storage, transport, application, removal and disposal of antifouling paints. Antifouling paints are applied as surface coating to hulls of ships and other water transport and fishing equipment to prevent the growth of microorganisms and plants or the propagation of animals. Antifouling paints prohibited from use are listed. Measures reducing emission levels during the application and removal of antifouling paints are prescribed. The Ordinance also lists personal protective equipment needed by those working with such paints and it outlines the medical examinations needed by personnel exposed to the paints. |
