This web site provides public information about the ChemXchange project. The project was initiated by the coordinator, The Norwegian Contractors Association (EBA) and funded by EU’s FP7 – Research for SMEs.
Official start date of the project was January 1st , 2009. The duration of the project is 36 months.
Project Description
The objective of ChemXchange is to offer the European construction sector a tailor-made, low-priced, fully digitalised chemical information system, which include chemical risk assessment, chemical communication up-and down the supply chain as well as chemical management.
The ChemXchange project addresses the challenges in the European Construction and Building sector regarding the lack of legal compliance with existing and new chemical legislation. The European construction sector, being the largest industrial sector overwhelmingly made up of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), is a major downstream user of chemicals and chemical-containing articles. Its workers are exposed to some of the most dangerous substances in commerce, including those that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction (CMR).
