OEB requirements worldwide
In order to make the OEB requirements in the Chemical- and Pharmaceutical industry much easier to understand, we compare in the following table list the maximum allowed amount of containment of a product (weight/m3 and weight/day) with the amount of sugar crystals an operator can be exposed to.
| OEB Level |
OEB Level Maximum Operator Exposure Limit Weight / m3 |
OEB Level Maximum Operator Exposure Limit Weight / day |
Toxic Level |
Maximum Contamination In comparison with sugar crystals (1 sugar crystal ≙ 3 mg) Sugar crystal(s) / day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | < 200 ng | < 0,01 mg | Extremely high toxic | < 0,003 |
| 5 | < 1 μg | < 0,1 mg | Highly toxic | < 0,03 |
| 4 | 1 – 10 μg | 0,1 – 1 mg | Toxic | 0,03 – 0,3 |
| 3 | 10 – 100 μg | 1 – 10 mg | Medium toxic | 0,3 – 3,3 |
| 2 | 100 – 1.000 μg | 10 – 100 mg | Low toxic | 3,3 – 33,3 |
| 1 | 1.000 – 5.000 μg | > 100 mg | Non toxic | > 33,3 |
