EU Signals Intention to Amend CLP Regulations on Substances and Mixtures
The European Union has announced it is seeking to amend the regulations regarding Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP Regulation). On August 22, 2016, the World Trade Organization (WTO) circulated notification G/TBT/N/EU/400, in the form of notification attachments 16_3411_00_e and 16_3411_01_e to WTO document 16-4467.The proposed amendments include the following changes to Table 3 in Annex VI:
• The addition of 24 new entries
• Amendments to 13 existing substances and providing acute toxicity estimate (ATE) values for nicotine (CAS 54-11-5)
• The insertion of harmonized ATE values in the penultimate column, containing specific concentration limits (SCLs) and M-factors. ATEs are mainly used to determine the classification for human health of mixtures containing substances classified for acute toxicity
The WTO notification announces that the draft regulation will be adopted in Q1 2017. It will then come into force 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and become effective 18 months after the date of entry into force. This means the new regulations could potentially become effective before the end of 2018.
