EU - Draft Amendments on the Harmonized Classification and Labeling of Hazardous Substances
Business description
The purpose of this draft proposal for an adaptation to technical progress of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (the CLP Regulation) is to amend table 3 of Part 3 of Annex VI to the CLP Regulation.
Table 3 of Part 3 of Annex VI to the CLP Regulation contains the list of harmonized classification and labeling of hazardous substances based on the criteria set out in Parts 2 to 5 of Annex I to that Regulation.
Based on the opinions issued by the committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) as well as on the comment received from Member States and stakeholders, the list is proposed to be amended by adding 39 new entries and revising 17 entries for the harmonized classification and labeling and by deleting 1 entry.
In order to allow supplier to adapt the labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures to the new or updated classifications and to sell existing stocks subject to the pre-existing regulatory requirements, the implementation date of the new requirements is proposed to be 18 months after the enforcement of the new Regulation.
Final date for comments: October 1, 2021
