Introduction
Switzerland restricts the usage of flame retardants via The Ordinance on Risk Reduction related to Chemical Products (ORRCHem) of 18 May 2005 as amended. Swiss national provisions to certain degree correspond with the EU restrictions on flame retardants (EU Directives 76/769/EEC, 79/663/EEC, 83/264/EC, 2003/11/EC) but also differ in parts.
