The European Commission published their proposal for CLP Regulation on the 19th December.
Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND. OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council
on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
As part of the CLP Regulation revision package, a delegated act will add definitions and scientific and technical criteria to enable substances and mixtures that have endocrine disrupting. (‘ED’), persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (‘PBT’), very persistent and very bioaccumulative (‘vPvB’), persistent, mobile and toxic (‘PMT’), or very persistent and very mobile (‘vPvM’) properties to be classified into established hazard classes.
The impact of adding these new hazard classes has been assessed as part of the overall impact assessment on the revision of the CLP Regulation.
The CLP Regulation revision package aims to:
(i) ensure that all hazardous chemicals, including those with ED, PBT, vPvB, PMT and vPvM. properties, are classified adequately and uniformly throughout the EU;
(ii) improve the efficiency of hazard communication by making labels more accessible and. understandable for users of chemicals, and provide companies with more flexibility, thereby reducing the administrative burden without lowering safety levels;
(iii) make sure that the rules on chemical hazard classification and communication. are applied by all relevant actors in the supply chain.
