Lessons from MAGAM Study
* MULTINATIONAL, RETROSPEKTIVE ANALYSIS OF POISONS CENTRES DATA ON THE QUESTION OF CORROSIVE EYE LESIONS CAUSED BY
SOLID AUTOMATIC DISHWASHING PRODUCTS AND OTHER DETERGENTS AND MAINTENANCE PRODUCTS
Oktober 2008 11 PCs in DE, AT and CH launched the MAGAM-Study*
supported by the IKW (German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent Association; Frankfurt/Main)
European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists
MAGAM: Questions
Do solid automatic dishwashing products (powder or tabs) and other detergents and cleaning products, exploited for domestic use, cause severe or permanent eye lesions?
What is the correct classification and labelling for solid household automatic dishwashing (ADW) products?
Are poisons centres’ data suitable for expert judgement within CLP?

MAGAM: Methods
A, D, CH:harmonised CSA„TDI Categorisation System for Agents“-> 6 categories
Problem:1998 – 2007 categorisation was done independently by each PC
Product / Case Identification in 11 individual PCs
Consequence: due to entirely different categories allocation of products to the listet 6 categories took 6 months more than expected
European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists
MAGAM: Results
Household ADW
Products
Severity Grading [PSS] Cases %
asymptomatic 29 25
minor symptoms 74 63
moderate symptoms 1 1
severe symptoms 0 0
unknown 13 11
TOTAL 117 100
ADW
European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists
MAGAM: Conclusions
PC data can provide a solid basis of expert judgement for CLP
Due to the dataset of 11 PCs no serious eye damage can be expected as a result of eye exposure to solid household automatic dishwashing products
Hazard category 2, „eye irritation“ with the symbol GHS07 (exclamation mark) seems to be an adequate classification and labelling
ADW

MAGAM: Future Aspects
Product names, product categories and unique identifiers should be transferred electronically to PCs before consultation to improve the quality of risk assessment, patients management and case recording
MAGAM Study: www.klinitox.de/263.0.html
European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists
Process of Categorisation
Actual situation in the EU PCs:
Categorisation of products is done by each PC independently
Product information (+ categories) is obtained from the inquirer (physician or exposed person)
Product information (+ categories) is obtained from industry (before or after consultation)
EU PCs use different categorisation systems
Industry and PCs don‘t have uniform CSA
Very difficult / not feasible to perform multicentre case studies due to entirely different categories

Experience of TDI* Project
*Toxicological Documentation and Information Network
Research project 1999 – 2006
10 German PCs + Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR, D)
2 results:
uniform format and electronic transfer of structured product information form industry to BfR and PCs
harmonised Categorisation System for Agents
Sept. 2006: First version of CSA (~15‘000 cat.)

Klinitox* WG „Categorisation“
*Society of Clinical Toxicology of the German speaking PCs
2007: having finished the TDI project a new Klinitox working group begun the further development of the TDI Categorisation System for Agents (CSA)
2008: version 2, ~18‘000 categories
2010: 11 PCs in A, CH, D use the TDI CSA
fully integrated the common CSA
built interfaces to local categorisation systems
Oct.: start of data collection for a common annual report

CPNP*: Cosmetics Categories
*Cosmetics Products Notification Portal
Oct. 2009 – Oct. 2010: European PCs and COLIPA elaborated common categories for cosmetics products (301 categories) within an EC working group
The project will be finalised in 2011 due to the revision of the frame formulations
2012: EU cosmetics industry will classify all products with common categorisation system during notification
All EU PCs will get structured electronically transmitted data on cosmetics products with uniform categories

CLP: Detergents Categories
January 2010: MAGAM group started harmonisation of categories for detergents and maintenance products
MAGAM group: IKW (German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent
Association; Frankfurt/Main => domestic products) IHO (German Association for Hygiene and Surfaceprotection;
Frankfurt/Main => industrial products) BfR (Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, Berlin) Klinitox (Society of Clinical Toxicology Germ. speaking PCs)
20 Nov. 2010: first draft harmonised version [DE/EN] of detergents products categories => www/klinitox.de/263.0.html

European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists
Conclusions
Poisons centres need categories
Industry and PCs should use uniform product categories
Categorisation of products should be performed by the manufacturer / notifier
Categories (+ other product inform.) should be transmitted electronically in a structured manner
Quality of patient care will improve
Data analysis will be easily performed
[7]
European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists
Conclusions
Categorisation systems should be harmonised by the EAPCCT in cooperation with the industrial associations (e.g.: detergents products (AISE), coatings products (European Coatings), …)
The draft version of detergents products categories (MAGAM group) could serve as a base for harmonisation on EU level
EC should provide suitable conditions for the harmonisation process
Time is ready to harmonise categories !
