ANNEX 9 (Ref. §3.12.a) OSPAR CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT OF THE NORTH-EAST ATLANTIC MEETING OF THE OFFSHORE INDUSTRY COMMITTEE (OIC) CADIZ: 11 – 15 FEBRUARY 2002 OSPAR List of Substances/Compounds Liable to Cause Taint (Reference number: 2002-5) When regulating the use and discharge of offshore chemicals according to the principles set out in OSPAR Decision 2000/2, OSPAR Decision 2000/3 and OSPAR Recommendation 2000/4, Contracting Parties should identify and flag substances known, or liable to cause taint. The list of substances/compounds known (in bold), or liable to cause taint is in Appendix?1. Substances that have been tested and found not to cause taint are listed in Appendix?2. “Taint” should be considered an additional property and a prioritisation factor for Contracting Parties to be taken into account in the pre-screening process and the management decisions to be taken by national competent authorities. Contracting Parties should ensure that whenever practicable substitutes are available, substances liable to, or known to cause taint should be substituted.” Appendix?1 OSPAR List of Substances/Compounds Liable to Cause Taint Compiled from GESAMP/EHS Composite list of Hazard Profiles Substances, which have been tested for tainting, and have proven to taint are identified in bold text (revised February 2002) CAS number(s) Name 75-07-0 Acetaldehyde 107-02-8 Acrolein Alkyl (C8-C9) phenylamine, in aromatic solvent (LOA) 538-68-1 Amylbenzene 110-66-7 Amylthiol 100-66-3 Anisole 100-52-7 Benzaldehyde 109-79-5 1-butane thiol 109-79-5 513-53-1 Butanethiols 820-29-1 Butyl n-amyl ketone 104-51-8 Butyl benzene Butyl benzene, (all isomers) 135-98-8 Sec-butyl benzene 98-06-6 Tert-butyl benzene 109-21-7 Butyl butyrate 1638-22-8 3180-09-4 4074-43-5 28805-86-9 Butyl phenols (liquid or solid) 590-01-2 Butyl propionate 98-51-1 p-tert-Butyl toluene 123-72-8 Butyraldehyde 61789-36-4 Calcium naphthenate Calcium naphthenate in
