6. Regulations
Like all chemical products, PVC stabilizers are subject to regulations designed to limit the risks associated with their use.
Their impact is assessed in three main ways
acute toxicity: measurement of immediate effects in the event of contact (burning, itching, etc.);
long-term toxicity: measurement of effects related to repeated exposure, with particular attention paid to 3 main impacts: cancerogenicity, mutagenicity and reprotoxicity (CMR);
environmental toxicity.
Regulations often differ from one country to another, making certain situations sometimes difficult in Europe, but also for commercial exports to the USA and Asia. Generally speaking, chemical products cannot be moved without a Safety Data Sheet (SDS),...

...Statistical and economic data
According to figures published by ESPA (European Stabilisers Producers Association) and the European PVC Producers Association (Vinyl 2010), European consumption of thermal stabilisers for PVC in 2010 is estimated at around 160,000 t for some 5.5 million tonnes of PVC, with the breakdown by stabiliser type shown in figure
