✅ Quick compliance snapshot

If your products fall under Anlage 2 (and reference specific duties), you typically need to implement:

• 🏛️ Permit (Erlaubnis) and/or 📨 notification (Anzeige) readiness
• 🧑‍🏫 Sachkunde (competence) governance (named competent persons, maintained qualification)
• 🛑 No self-service in retail (no vending machines / self-service models for covered products)
• 📒 Abgabebuch (handover log), including receipt confirmation; electronic allowed
• 🕔 Retention: at least 5 years after the last entry
• 📦 Shipping limits for specific categories (may be restricted to defined recipient circles)

🧭 What a company must do to comply

1) 🧾 Build a ChemVerbotsV scope list (product master)

Create a controlled inventory of all products supplied into/within Germany:

• Product/SKU, pack sizes, intended use, sales channels (retail, B2B, online)
• Latest SDS and label artwork
• Current CLP classification (pictograms, signal word, H-statements)

ChemVerbotsV supply rules are applied based on hazard labelling/classification and recipient circle, so your scope list must stay aligned with SDS/CLP updates.

2) 🧷 Map each product to Anlage 2 duties and recipient circle

For each product, determine whether it falls under Anlage 2 and which obligations are triggered (e.g., controlled handover steps, Abgabebuch, shipping restrictions). A practical way to do this is to map:

• CLP hazard profile (signal word / H-statements)
• Intended recipient: general public vs professional users/resellers/institutions

Authorities and practical guidance explicitly link ChemVerbotsV controls to hazard marking + recipient circle.

3) 🏛️ Decide the authorization route: Permit (§6) vs Notification (§7)

A) Permit (Erlaubnis) readiness

A permit is tied to defined requirements. The legal text links permit eligibility to Sachkunde and reliability.

Operational actions

• Identify the sites where covered products are supplied
• Assign and document at least one competent person per relevant site (as required by your operating model)
• Prepare evidence pack (competence proof, responsibilities, product scope list)

Practical authority guidance commonly expects competent coverage in each site where the covered supply occurs.

B) Notification (Anzeige) readiness

For certain first-time supplies (depending on category/channel), companies must be able to submit the required notice and name the competent persons as part of the process framework.

4) 🧑‍🏫 Put “Sachkunde” governance in place (people + proof)

ChemVerbotsV “Sachkunde” is a core control lever. Official guidance makes clear that Sachkunde is a prerequisite connected to permit/notification and applies to covered products under Anlage 2.

Minimum governance controls

• Role definition: competent person(s), deputies, site ownership
• Evidence management: certificates, scope limits (if restricted competence applies), refresher/continuation proof where required by the competence pathway
• Delegation rules (if used): instruction records and periodic re-instruction documentation (where permitted by the category guidance)

5) 🛒 Implement controlled handover at point of sale (POS)

ChemVerbotsV requires structured handover controls for in-scope products.

A) Self-service ban (retail)
Retail supply for covered products may not be done via vending machines or other self-service forms.

B) Identity and receipt confirmation
Companies must ensure identity checks and obtain a receipt confirmation (signature / handwritten electronic signature), captured in the Abgabebuch or on a separate receipt document.

C) Documented handover conversation elements (where triggered)
Guidance commonly expects verification of intended use and buyer instruction on hazards/precautions/disposal for the relevant categories.

6) 📒 Run an Abgabebuch that stands up to inspection

When Anlage 2 references §9 duties, you must keep an Abgabebuch; it can be electronic.

Keep it inspection-ready

• Mandatory fields completeness (who/what/when/how much/recipient details as applicable)
• Receipt confirmation captured and searchable
• Secure storage and controlled access
• Exportable evidence pack per site/product/time period

Retention

• Keep Abgabebuch and receipts at least 5 years after the last entry.

7) 📦 Make e-commerce and shipping compliant (§10)

Where Anlage 2 refers to shipping restrictions, §10 limits distance selling so that covered substances/mixtures may not be offered/supplied by shipping outside the defined recipient circle.

Controls to implement

• Customer-type gating (consumer vs professional) aligned to the allowed recipient circle
• Checkout/fulfilment blocks where shipping is not allowed
• Documented alternative handover route (if your category allows controlled supply but not shipment)

8) 🔁 Change management (keep decisions current)

ChemVerbotsV obligations can change when:

• CLP classification changes (updated SDS/label elements)
• REACH restrictions update (Annex XVII changes)
• You add new SKUs, pack sizes, or channels (new retail sites, new webshops, new marketplaces)

Recommended cadence

• Monthly/quarterly SDS/label review for in-scope products
• Quarterly sample audit of handover records and Abgabebuch completeness
• Annual review of competence coverage and training evidence
