We provide safety information for our products
As stainless steel is inert and non-reactive when employed correctly, health and safety impacts are extremely limited. This is why stainless steel is so widely used in medical appliances and equipment and tools in the food processing industry, where health and safe use are of utmost importance.
Nevertheless, issues that affect health and safety are important – not only during the process of manufacturing stainless steel, but also when our customers are processing the material, when stainless steel products are used and when they are eventually recycled and remelted. Outokumpu manufactures stainless steel grades that are standardized and proven to be safe for their recommended use.
The Safety Information Sheet provides information on substances contained in the material as well as advice on safety measures to be employed when handling stainless steel. The safety information is provided in accordance with REACH requirements to supply sufficient information to permit safe use and disposal of articles. The information is regularly reviewed. We also offer detailed information on the chemical and technical properties of each stainless steel grade.
