Placing on the market

The pressure equipment directive was adopted by the European Parliament and the European Council in May 1997. It harmonises the national laws of the 15 Member States of the European Union relating to equipment subject to the pressure risk. That directive is one of the series of technical harmonisation directives such as for machinery, medical devices, simple pressure vessels, gas appliances and so on, which were foreseen by the Communities programme for the elimination of technical barriers to trade. It therefore aims to ensure the free placing on the market and putting into service of the equipment concerned within the European Union and the European Economic Area. At the same time it permits a flexible regulatory environment, allowing European industry to develop new techniques increasing thereby its international competitiveness. 

Under the New Approach Member States shall not prohibit, restrict or impede the placing on the market or putting into service of products which comply with the directives and bear the CE-marking. Member States have also the obligation to take all appropriate measures to ensure that the products placed on the market do not endanger the health and safety of persons. 

Where conformity assessment involves intervention of third party, that task is normally carried out by the notified body. The pressure equipment directive enables in addition the national authorities to authorise in their territory user inspectorates for the carrying out of conformity assessment procedures which relate to product verification. These inspectorates shall act exclusively on behalf of the group of which they are part. The placing on the market and putting into service of equipment which has undergone such assessment is however limited to the territory of the authorising Member State and to those Member States which have also proceeded to such authorisation. The equipment concerned shall therefore not bear the CE-marking. 

Biosynthetic Human Insulin from E. coli. Insulin [9004-10-8] a polypeptide hormone, stimulates anaboHc reactions for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats thereby producing a lowered blood glucose level. Porcine insulin [12584-58-6] and bovine insulin [11070-73-8] were used to treat diabetes prior to the availabiHty of human insulin [11061 -68-0]. AH three insulins are similar in amino acid sequence. EH LiHy s human insulin was approved for testing in humans in 1980 by the U.S. EDA and was placed on the market by 1982 (11,12). 

In the second quarter of the twentieth century, with the development of poly(vinyl chloride), nylon, polyurethane, and other polymers, many new and improved leather-like materials, so-called coated fabrics (qv), were placed on the market. Shortages of leather after World War 11 led to the expansion of these leather-like materials ("man-made" leathers) to replace leather in shoes, clothing, bags, upholstery, and other items. DurabiUty and waterproof quahties superior to leather made coated fabrics advantageous, in spite of imperfection in breathabihty and flexibiUty. Demands for shoes, clothing, and other items are stiU increasing due to growing world population and urbanization. 

Substances classed as no longer polymers . These are listed polymers which were considered to be polymers under the NONS 82 definition but not by the NONS 93 version. Unlisted substances may also be exempt if they could have been considered under NONS 82, or are not a polymer under NONS 93, or were placed on the market between 1 January 1971 and 1 November 1993. 

Substances intended solely for scientific research and development in quantities less than 100 kg per year. Substances placed on the market for process-orientated research and development with a limited number of customers registered with die notifier. The aim of die notification systems is to identify possible risks posed to people and the environment from placing new substances on the market. A notification comprises data on the chemical identity of the substance an estimate of the quantity of the substance to be placed on the EC market details of the functions and uses of the substance Table 14.12 Notification bands ... 

The notification dossier may also contain a risk assessment prepared by the notifier. The precise contents of a notification will depend on, e.g., the quantity of the substance to be placed on the market and, to an extent, on the properties and uses of the substance. The thresholds for notification and a summary of the information requirements are given in Table 14.12.

Before a device can be legally placed on the market in Europe, it must go through an appropriate conformity assessment process to establish that it meets all the essential requirements of the applicable directive. This enables the manufacturer to make a formal declaration of conformity and apply the CE mark of conformity to the device. The manufacturer, or an authorised representative (EC Rep), who takes on the responsibilities imposed by the directives on behalf of the manufacturer, must be established in the EU.

In dmg regulation, the government sets legal requirements relating to dmgs and specifies what activities must be undertaken before and after a dmg is placed on the market. 

However, restorations made from this material could not be polished and were aesthetically very poor. Simmonds (1983) has pursued this idea, and a material has been placed on the market. But according to Moore, Swartz Phillips (1985) such cements have less resistance to abrasion than a simple glass polyalkenoate cement. 

Another important use for the glass polyalkenoate cement is in preventive dentistry where it can be used to fill and seal naturally occurring pits and fissures in molar teeth which are sites for the initiation of caries (McLean Wilson, 1974, 1977b Komatsu, 1981 Wilson McLean, 1988). Its adhesive quality and ability to act as a long-term fluoridereleasing gel make it particularly suitable for this purpose. Special formulations for this application have been placed on the market. 

Legal Controls. These include a labeling law requiring all economic poisons to be clearly labeled according to content and amount of each ingredient, with appropriate statements on first aid measures and precautions and an adequate system of inspection for the presence of poisonous residues on the surface of, or within, the foods placed on the market. It is recommended also that the states adopt legislation consistent with the federal laws. 

Damages to human health and the environment are by economists most often considered as market failures since they are external costs not included in the price when a transaction is taking place on the market. If the damage were to be fully financially compensated in the transaction, the damage would not be an external cost and the market would function properly. A properly functioning market implies that there is no problem to be solved (from the point of view of an economist). Externalities is the term used by economists when exploring non-priced effects of transactions [6]. 

The other type of legislation regulates the use of chemicals and also regulates the content of some specific chemicals in the final products. As example, the European chemical legislation REACH can be mentioned [5]. Annex XVII sets out the list of restrictions on the manufacture, placing on the market and use of certain dangerous chemical substances, mixtures and articles. 

The use of DMF in biocidal products was prohibited in the EU according to EU Directive 98/8/EC [15]. However, the directive did not restrict the import of articles treated with DMF into the EU. As a consequence, the European Union made a temporary restriction to place products containing DMF on the market in 2009 (Decision 2009/251/EC). The restriction was on 15 May 2012 made permanent by the EC Regulation 412/2012 amending Annex XVII to EC Regulation 1907/2006 (REACH) [12]. The text in REACH states that articles or any parts thereof in concentrations greater than 0.1 mg/kg shall not be placed on the market. 

Immunochemical methods have been developed and placed on the market to analyze tetracycline residues (see Table 4). Thus, a qualitative EIA has been developed and used to analyze tetracyclines in honey samples with a detection level of 20 pg/kg-1 [96]. A microplate-based indirect ELISA has been developed to analyze tetracyclines using polyclonal antibodies. The assay could measure tetracycline in the range between 0.1 and 6 ng mL L Other tetracycline antibiotics such as chlortetracycline, rolitetracycline, or minocycline are also highly recognized in this assay [98]. Several immunoassay kits are commercially available for the analysis of tetracyclines although, to our knowledge, none of them... 

As occurred with the other antibiotics, commercial immunoassay formats, also available as kits for tetracyclines and penicillins such as the Parallux, the LacTek, or the Charm II, have also been placed on the market for the analysis of sulfonamides (see Table 4). Thus, the Parallux detects sulfamethazine and sulfadimethoxine in raw milk with a LOD of 10 pg L1. The Charm II detects almost all sulfonamides in honey and milk with a LOD in the range from 1 to 10 pg L, whereas LacTek is able to detect sulfamethazine. Moreover, the 5101SULlp and 5101SUDAlp tests reach LOD values for sulfamethazine and sulfadiazine of around 0.2 pg L 1 and they have been applied to the analysis of urine, milk, and plasma. These tests have proved to be efficient as a point of care for on-site applications on farms. Moreover, commercially available antibodies can be found from several sources such as Silver Lake Research, US Biological, Cortex Biochem. Inc., Accurate Chemical Scientific, Fitzgerald Industries International Inc., and Biotrend Chemikalien GmbH.
