For people in the retail and specialist trade who come into contact with particularly hazardous substances, preparations and materials and pass these on to customers, it is essential to have specialist knowledge of chemicals legislation. This knowledge in accordance with Article 81 of the Chemicals Ordinance (ChemO) can be taught to you in a short certificate course and will greatly help you to inform your customers comprehensively and accurately about the individual substances and preparations, point out hazards, explain disposal and point out protective measures.

You will learn all the important basics in a course in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Office of Public Health FOPH. This includes definitions of terms, new labeling of chemicals, general protective measures, obligations to dispense according to ChemRRV, PSMV, ChemV, BiocideV, product-specific knowledge, safety data sheets and many other areas. You can obtain a detailed list of the content directly from the respective schools. There you will also find out exactly which target group a certificate course in chemical law is aimed at, which course variants are available and exactly how long such a seminar lasts.

As a rule, after attending this course and taking a short final test, you will receive a certificate in accordance with Article 7 of the Ordinance on the Knowledge Required for the Supply of Particularly Dangerous Substances and Preparations. However, please clarify this with the individual training providers in advance so that you can be sure of receiving a corresponding certificate. As a retailer or salesperson in a drugstore, store or pharmacy, you will need this in order to be allowed to sell chemicals to private individuals.
