The technical regulations for the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and preparations will be updated and thus adapted to technical progress in the EU (16th and 17th ATP of the EU CLP Regulation; binding from 1 March 2022).

This draft revision updates the list of harmonized classifications:

·         inclusion of 22 substances;

·         amendment of 41 existing entries

With this draft revision, the latest developments in test methods for substances and preparations (OECD) are adopted. Two substances are included in the candidate list of substance of very high concern. This listing triggers information obligations along the supply chain.
