That list contains a non-exhaustive list of dangerous substances within the meaning of Article 2(11) of Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of life vehicles. It is based on the relevant subset of harmonised classification substances listed in Table 3 of Annex VI to CLP Regulation No 1272/2008/EC. Harmonised classification and labelling is a legally binding classification and labelling of a substance agreed at Community level. Harmonisation is based on the assessment of the physical, toxicological and ecotoxicological hazards of the substance. This list contains the substances to which waste codes 1 to 15 of hazardous property (HP) are assigned as defined in terms of hazard class and category, hazard statement (H) and/or concentration limits set out in Annex III to the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC. The classifications of the substances on the list are based on their harmonised classifications in accordance with Table 3 of Annex VI to CLP Regulation No 1272/2008/EC. If the substance is covered by more than one CLH entry (e.g. EC disodium tetraborate No 215–540–4, covered by three harmonises: 005–011–00–4; 005–011–01–1 and 005–011–02–9), the CLH information cannot be displayed in the InfoCard because the difference between the CLH classifications requires manual interpretation or review. If a substance is classified under multiple CLH entries, a link to the C&L inventory is provided to allow users to view CLH information related to the substance, and no text is automatically generated for the InfoCard. For the full list of notified classifications and for more information on impurities and additives relevant for classification, please consult the C&L inventory. The section “Hazard classification and labelling” presents the hazards of a substance based on the standardised system of statements and pictograms established in the CLP (Classification Labelling and Packaging) Regulation. The CLP Regulation ensures that the hazards posed by chemicals are clearly communicated to workers and consumers in the European Union.
The CLP Regulation uses the United Nations Globally Harmonised System (GHS) and the specific hazard statements (EUA) of the European Union. The properties of the substances presented in this section are derived from harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) data, entries in the candidate list of substances of very high concern, the PBT assessment list, the PE assessment list, registered REACH dossier data and CLP notifications. A prioritization hierarchy means that data is first extracted from harmonised C&L data and regulatory lists, then from REACH registrations and finally from CLP notifications. If you click on the “More details” button, you will be able to see the exact origin of each property. This section is based on three sources of information (harmonised classification and labelling (CLH), REACH registrations and CLP notifications). The source of the information shall be indicated in the introductory sentence of the hazard statements. If the information is available in all sources, the first two are displayed first. This list contains a non-exhaustive list of substances based on the list of hazardous substances for harmonised classification and labelling (i.e. Table 3 of Annex VI to CLP) and the candidate list of substances of very high concern (SVHC).
In accordance with Article 6(6) of the EU Ecolabel Regulation, the Ecolabel may not be awarded to goods containing substances or mixtures classified as toxic under CLP; dangerous for the environment; and carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction (CMR). Products also cannot be labelled if they contain SVHC (according to Article 57 of the REACH Regulation). While the harmonised list of the CLP Regulation contains many of these substances, other substances not listed in Table 3 may also meet the criteria for classification under the CLP Regulation. This list contains a non-exhaustive list based on the list of harmonised classification and labelling substances (i.e. Table 3 of Annex VI to CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC). While the harmonised list covers many hazardous substances, other non-listed substances may also meet the CLP classification criteria. If there is no harmonised EU-wide classification and labelling and the substance has not been registered under REACH, the information from classification and labelling (C&L) notifications to ECHA under CLP is displayed in this section. These notifications may be provided by manufacturers, importers and downstream users. ECHA maintains the classification and labelling inventory, but does not verify the accuracy of the information. Note: Identification of relevant regulatory activities and outcomes is done automatically and without manual verification. Substances may be grouped under a specific regulatory activity to allow for more effective risk management and manipulation of legislation (e.g. restriction to “lead and its compounds”).
In these cases, Infocards may not identify all substances in the group. They therefore do not constitute official and legally binding information. In order to confirm whether a substance is covered by a particular piece of legislation, the official publication, such as the electronic edition of the Official Journal of the European Union, should be consulted. The quality and accuracy of the information submitted to ECHA is the responsibility of the data forwarder. The type of uses and classifications may vary from one submission to ECHA to another and, for a complete understanding, it is recommended to consult the source data. Information on applicable regulatory frameworks is also automatically generated and may not be complete or up-to-date. It is the responsibility of fabric manufacturers and importers to consult official publications, such as the electronic edition of the Official Journal of the European Union. The purpose of the information in this section is to highlight the hazardousness of the substance in a readable format. It does not constitute new labelling, classification or hazard statement, nor does it reflect other factors affecting the sensitivity of the effects described, such as duration or concentration of exposure (e.g. for consumers and professionals). Other relevant information includes: In the section “Hazard classification” and labelling, the signal word, pictogram and hazard statements of the substance are used as the main source of information in the context of harmonised classification and labelling (CLH).
Where available, additional information on classification and labelling (C&L) comes from REACH registration dossiers submitted by industry. This information has not been reviewed or verified by ECHA and is subject to change without notice. REACH registration dossiers are subject to higher data requirements (e.g. supporting studies) than CLP notifications. This list contains substances and groups of substances authorised by the EU for the manufacture of regenerated cellulose film intended to come into contact with food. The list is set out in Annex II to Directive 2007/42/EC and is divided into a first and a second part for uncoated or coated regenerated cellulose film. For some entries, the list contains function classes, maximum and minimum limits, and other restrictions. This list includes substances whose use in cosmetic products is prohibited in the European Union, except under certain conditions set out in Annex III. The list shall specify the scope or use, the maximum permissible concentration limits in finished products and any additional restrictions. That list shall contain a non-exhaustive list of carcinogens, mutagens and substances for reproduction (CMR) which have been approved in accordance with Article 5(2)(c)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 2. 450/2009 cannot be used in components of active and intelligent materials and objects.
The list comes from a subset of substances listed in Table 3 of Annex VI to CLP (1272/2008/EC).
