- α,α'-propylenedinitrilodi-o-cresol (EC 202-374-2, CAS 94-91-7): Netherlands have proposed the following harmonised classification: 1B, H360FD;
- rape oil (EC 232-299-0, CAS 8002-13-9);
- methacrylic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol (EC 248-666-3, CAS 27813-02-1): France has proposed the following harmonised classification: Eye Irrit. 2, H319, Resp. Sens. 1, H334, Skin Sens. 1, H317, STOT SE 3, H335.

Harmonised classification: public consultation
Public consultation has been opened by the ECHA for ethanethiol; ethyl mercaptan (EC 200-837-3, CAS 75-08-1), N,N'-methylenediacrylamide (EC 203-750-9, CAS 110-26-9) and 1,4-dichloro-2-nitrobenzene (EC 201-923-3, CAS 89-61-2) regarding their classification.
- ethanethiol; ethyl mercaptan is included in Annex VI of CLP with the following harmonised classification: Liq. 2, H225; Acute Tox. 4, H332; Aquatic Acute 1, H400 and Aquatic Chronic 1, H410. Austria has proposed the following harmonised classification: Flam. Liq. 1, H224; Acute Tox. 4 H302 with an ATE of 680 mg/kg bw; Acute Tox. 3 H331 with an ATE of inhalation of vapours of 7.14 mg/L; Aquatic Acute 1, H400 and Aquatic Chronic 1, H410.
- N,N'-methylenediacrylamide: Sweden has proposed to include this substance in Annex VI with the following harmonised classification: 1B, H340.
- 1,4-dichloro-2-nitrobenzene: Netherlands has proposed to include this substance in Annex VI with the following harmonised classification: 1B, H350.
ECHA invites all interested parties to provide comments regarding the hazard classes proposed. This public consultation will end on February 11th, 2022.
