As you may be aware, the new European Directive limiting the amount of soluble chromium (VI) in cements and ‘cement containing preparations’ such as renders, mortars or concrete, was implemented on 17 January 2005. This legislation is designed to minimise the occurrence of chromate-related allergic dermatitis arising from the use of cement. The detailed legislation/regulations governing implementation and enforcement are a matter for individual Member States. In the UK, implementation will be via amendment of the COSHH and CHIP Regulations under the responsibility of the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).
To meet the requirements, Lafarge Cement UK will control the amount of soluble chromium (VI) in all bulk and bagged cements and their other cement-containing products/preparations, by the addition, where necessary, of small amounts of a reducing agent (ferrous sulfate). In the UK, this will mean that all LCUK cements will have levels of soluble chromium (VI), when water is added to the cement, that are no more than 2 ppm (0.0002%) by mass of the dry cement. It should be noted, that white cement is naturally low in soluble chromium (VI) and will not normally require the addition of a reducing agent.
