The 5th ATP to CLP regulation(draft) is available

 

16 Jan 2013, The 5th ATP(draft) was notified to WTO in December and it proposes to update the classifications of over 40 substances (for example, vinyl acetate & Nitrobenzene) in Tables 3.1 and 3.2 of Annex VI of CLP regulation. The draft regulation is expected to come into force from 1 January 2015.

 

Use of harmonised classification and labelling set out in Tables 3.1 and 3.2 of Annex VI of CLP regulation is mandatory in Europe. It is very important that companies follow the updates of CLP regulation to ensure that they are using up-to-date classification criteria or harmonized classifications.

 

More info about the update history of CLP regulation and how to download the 5th ATP can be found here.

ECHA adds 54 more substances to SVHC candidate list.

 

19 Dec 2012, ECHA has added another 54 substances to the SVHC Candidate List, a list that now contains a total of 138 substances. Inclusion on this list imposes new information requirements on manufacturers and importers of listed substances and on suppliers of preparations and articles containing the substances.

The HENZ system offers practical supply chain solutions for EU REACH via a bespoke cost-effective toolkit to manage obligations related to regulatory compliance for article compliance. In addition to regulatory data management across the supply chain, the system can also help users to evaluate regulatory compliance and export documentary evidence.
