Step 7:
Substitution is a continuous process
After you have completed all the steps of the substitution process, it is
important to monitor developments.
Does the new product or process meet your expectations, or do you meet
unexpected problems? If so, what are they? It may be necessary to reconsider the
changes you have made if for example:
• you receive new information indicating that
replacement substances are hazardous to health or
the environment or that there are risks involved in
using them
• new alternatives (products or processes) become
available
• new rules are adopted.
It may be necessary to replace the new product or process with an even better or
safer one at a later date.
Is it possible to reduce the risk to health and the environment even further?
