What’s new?
Following the publication of Delegated Regulation 2023/707, which updates the CLP Regulation, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has recently updated the Guidance on the Application of the CLP Criteria to include new hazard classes. This update introduces a detailed guidance on the application of the CLP criteria for the new hazard classes, incorporated into Parts 3 and 4 of the CLP Guidance; specifically:
- Part 3.11 (Endocrine Disruption - Human Health)
- Part 4.2 (Endocrine Disruption - Environment)
- Part 4.3 (PBT/vPvB and PMT/vPvM)
New hazard classes: when?
The new hazard classes and labeling requirements introduced by Regulation 2023/707 have different application dates for substances and mixtures, in particular:
- Substances can be classified and labelled without considering the Delegated Reg. 2023/707 up until May 1st 2025 (or November 1st 2026 if already placed on the market)
- Mixtures can be classified and labelled without considering the Delegated Reg. 2023/707 up until May 1st 2026 (or May 1st 2028 if already placed on the market)
After the related application date, substances and mixtures must be classified and labelled according to the Delegated Regulation.
