 Classification & Labelling |
| |
For the time being, all suppliers of substances are obliged to classify and label them in accordance with Council Directive 67/548/EEC (Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC) before they place them on the market.
This obligation is independent of the quantity manufactured or imported. This classification needs to be done on the basis of their investigations about accessible and relevant data on the properties of their substance(s).
The data on the intrinsic properties of the substance have to be compared with the criteria for classification and labelling as established in Directive 67/548/EEC and the appropriate classification and labelling shall be derived. |
The notification system of 'new substances' of Directive 67/548/EEC will be substituted by REACH.
The classification and labeling system of the Directive 67/548/EEC will be substituted by the implementation of the Globally Harmonised System (GHS).
