Hazardous substances are chemical substances or mixtures that can be dangerous for the user and the environment. Flammable or explosive substances are also included. Therefore, we monitor retail trade involving hazardous substances. If you want to trade certain substances and preparations, you must first pass an examination.

The District Health Office particularly monitors retail involving hazardous substances or products containing such substances. When selling these products, bans and restrictions must be observed (see Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance).

Anyone who wants to sell certain substances and products must pass a proficiency examination. Please contact the responsible District Government in Düsseldorf.

In some cases, a permit for sale is also required.
