With the supply chain, tank container cleaning depots have a crucial role, combining both the ending and beginning of transport orders for dry bulk, food grades and liquid chemicals.
It is the latter of the three segments where serious risks are involved towards health, safety and the environment.
To this, the sector is usually regulated with stringent local, national and international EU laws and regulations and under the supervision of local government, enforcement agencies and branch organisations, among others through ISO certification and SQAS audits.
As a result, the tank cleaning industry is very familiar with its corporate social responsibility and the demand for sustainable investments for innovation towards, for example, air emission control (odours, VOC), wastewater treatment and processing of chemical waste.
The basis for the quality level of these techniques is fully determined by the quality and completeness of the data listed in the product safety datasheet (SDS).
It is not unthinkable that due to incomplete and/ or lacking data or insufficient expertise an incorrect SDS interpretation could occur, thus causing an unwanted outcome, such as unsatisfactory cleaning, odour nuisance, injury or malfunction of water treatment.
Data sheets
Cindax provides support by offering access to a knowledge network and the practical experience in data research and analysis whereby members are assured of indepth and accurate product information while also finding product SDS processing reduced to just a few minutes for interpretation.
The company analyses Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and provides information on health, safety and environment (aquatic toxicity and air emissions) combined with product specific cleaning procedures.
The need for in depth SDS analysis is ever more critical in order to remain in compliance with the increasing governmental health and environmental regulations (PFAS, SVHC, PMT/vPvM and endocrine disruptors)
Analysis, via Cindax, is further beneficial to clients to indicate to the authorities that their product assessment occurred via an impartial third party expert’s network.
Technology to meet the requirements of the increasing critical threshold levels on air emissions and wastewater discharge are due to the increasing knowledge of the harmful effects on human health, wildlife and the environment.
