Mixing containers, equipment list

Different types of dry chemical should not be mixed in extinguishers or containers. Under no circumstance should the type of dry chemical used in a system be changed unless the change is recommended or approved by the equipment manufacturer. Such a change may void the equipment s listing or approval. 

The previous target then specifies that the products containing substances with the properties listed above must be handled in such a way that these chemicals are not released to the environment [547], The report continues to state explicitly that chemicals listed should not be used in production processes unless the company can prove that human health and the environment will not be harmed [547]. In other words, the overall target advocates a mix between hazard and risk-based approaches. In cases of handling, no exposure should occur at all. An example would be in the disposal or disassembly of an electronic piece of equipment where actual substances are contained within the articles. In cases of production, manufacture and use, Sweden advocates a risk approach through exposure assessment.
