/* COM/2012/08 final - 2012/0007 (COD) */
Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations /* COM/2012/08 final - 2012/0007 (COD) */
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. On 1 April 1987 the
Commission decided[1]
to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more
than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement and that
departments should endeavour to codify at even shorter intervals the texts for
which they are responsible, to ensure that their provisions are clear and
readily understandable. 2. The codification of
Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May
1999 concerning the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative
provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and
labelling of dangerous preparations[2]
has been initiated by the Commission. The new Directive was to have
superseded the various acts incorporated in it[3]. 3. In the meantime the Lisbon Treaty
entered into force. Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union (TFEU) allows the legislator to delegate to the Commission the
power to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or
amend certain non-essential elements of a legislative act. Acts adopted by the
Commission in this way are referred to in the terminology used by the TFEU as
"delegated acts" (Article 290(3)). 4. Directive 1999/45/EC contains
a provision with regard to which such a delegation of power would be opportune.
It is therefore appropriate to transform the codification of Directive 1999/45/EC
into a recast in order to incorporate the necessary amendments. 5. The recast proposal was
drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation,
in 22 official languages, of Directive 1999/45/EC and the
instruments amending it, carried out by the Publications Office of the European
Union, by means of a data‑processing system. Where the Articles
have been given new numbers, the correlation between the old and the new
numbers is shown in a table set out in Annex IX to the recast Directive. ê 1999/45/EC
(adapted) 2012/0007 (COD) Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
AND OF THE COUNCIL on the classification, packaging and
labelling of dangerous preparations (Recast) THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE
COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article Ö 114 Õ thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the
European Commission, After transmission of the draft legislative
act to the national Parliaments, Having regard to the opinion of the
European Economic and Social Committee[4], Acting in accordance with the ordinary
legislative procedure[5], Whereas: ò new (1)
Directive 1999/45/EC
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 1999 concerning
the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the
Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of
dangerous preparations[6]
has been substantially amended several times[7].
Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests
of clarity. (2)
The approximation of
the rules existing in the Member States relating to classification, packaging
and labelling of certain dangerous preparations is essential for setting equal
competition conditions and the functioning of the internal market. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 3 (adapted) (3)
Measures for the approximation of the provisions
of the Member States affecting the functioning of the internal market Ö should Õ, in so far as
they concern health, safety and protection of man and the environment, adopt a
high level of protection as a basis. This Directive Ö should Õ, at the same
time, ensure protection for the general public, and, in particular, persons who
come into contact with dangerous preparations in the course of their work or in
the pursuit of a hobby, protection for consumers and for the environment. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 8 (adapted) (4)
The number of animals used for experiments
should be reduced to a minimum, in accordance with the provisions of Ö Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of
22 September 2010 on the protection of animals used for scientific
purposes Õ[8]. Ö Pursuant
to Article 4(1) of that Directive Member States are to
ensure that, wherever possible, a scientifically satisfactory method or testing
strategy, not entailing the use of live animals, are used instead of a
procedure within the meaning of that Directive, defined as any use, invasive or
non-invasive, of an animal for experimental or other scientific purposes, with
known or unknown outcome, or educational purposes, which may cause the animal a
level of pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm equivalent to, or higher
than, that caused by the introduction of a needle in accordance with good
veterinary practice. Õ Therefore, this Directive makes use of the results of assessments of
toxicological and ecotoxicological properties only when these are already known
and entails no obligation to conduct further experiments on animals. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 14 (adapted) (5)
Although munitions are not covered by this
Directive, explosives marketed to produce an explosive or pyrotechnic effect
may, through their chemical composition, present dangers to health. It is
therefore necessary as part of a transparent information process to classify
them Ö in
accordance with this Directive Õ and assign to
them a safety data sheet in accordance with Ö Regulation
(EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation
and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency,
amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC)
No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as
Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC,
93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC[9], Õ and also to
label them in accordance with the international rules used for the transport of
dangerous goods. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 12 (adapted) (6)
Ö Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection
products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and
91/414/EEC Õ[10] and Directive 98/8/EC of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the
placing of biocidal products on the market[11],
in contrast to the provisions applicable to chemical preparations covered by
this Directive, provide for an authorisation procedure for each product on the
basis of a dossier presented by the applicant and an assessment carried out by
the competent authority in each Member State. Furthermore, that authorisation
procedure includes a control relating specifically to the classification,
packaging and labelling of each product before it is placed on the market. It
is appropriate, as part of a clear and transparent information process, to
classify and label plant protection products Ö and
biocidal products Õ according to
the provisions of this Directive, and also to provide instructions for use in
accordance with the results of the evaluation carried out in the framework of Ö Regulation
(EC) No 1107/2009 and Directive 98/8/EC Õ and to ensure
that the labelling satisfies the high level of protection sought by both this
Directive and Ö Regulation (EC)
No 1107/2009 or Directive 98/8/EC respectively Õ. In addition,
a safety data sheet has to be established for plant protection products Ö and
biocidal products Õ in accordance
with Ö Regulation
(EC) No 1907/2006 Õ. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 5 (adapted) (7)
It is necessary to provide Ö for Õ concentration
limits expressed as a volume/volume percentage in the case of preparations
marketed in gaseous form. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 9 (8)
It is necessary to define what human experience
might be considered for the evaluation of the health hazards of a preparation.
If clinical studies may be accepted, it is taken as given that such studies
comply with the Helsinki Declaration and the Guidelines for Good Clinical
Practice of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. ê Corrigendum
1907/2006 recital 57 (OJ L 136, 29.5.2007, p. 3)
(adapted) (9)
As the existing safety data sheet is already
being used as a communication tool within the supply chain of substances and
preparations, Ö has been
developed Õ further and Ö has been
made Õ an integral
part of the system established by Regulation Ö (EC)
No 1907/2006, it should be removed from this Directive Õ. ê Corrigendum
2006/121/EC recital 1 (OJ L 136, 29.5.2007, p. 281)
(adapted) (10)
Ö Due
to Õ the adoption
of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Council Directive 67/548/EEC of
27 June 1967 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and
administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and
labelling of dangerous substances[12]
Ö has been Õ adapted and
its rules on the notification and risk assessment of chemicals Ö have been Õ deleted. Ö This
Directive should be adapted accordingly. Õ ê 440/2008
recital 2 (adapted) (11)
Annex V to Directive 67/548/EEC, Ö setting
out methods for the determination of the physico-chemical properties, toxicity
and ecotoxicity of substances and preparations, Õ has been
deleted by Directive 2006/121/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council[13]
with effect from 1 June 2008. Ö The
references to that Annex in this Directive should be adapted accordingly. Õ ê 1272/2008
recital 53 (adapted) (12)
In order to take full account of the work and
experience accumulated under Directive 67/548/EEC, including the
classification and labelling of specific substances listed in Annex I Ö to
that Õ Directive, all
existing harmonised classifications should be converted into new harmonised
classifications using the new criteria. Moreover, as the applicability of
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and
packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives
67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006[14] is deferred and the harmonised classifications in accordance with
the criteria of Directive 67/548/EEC are relevant for the classification of
substances and mixtures during the ensuing transition period, all existing
harmonised classifications should also be placed unchanged in an annex to Ö that Õ Regulation. By
subjecting all future harmonisations of classifications to Ö that Õ Regulation,
inconsistencies in harmonised classifications of the same substance under the
existing and the new criteria should be avoided. ê 2006/8/EC
recital 1 (adapted) (13)
Preparations composed of
more than one substance being classified in Ö Table 3.2
of Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008 Õ as
carcinogenic, mutagenic and/or toxic for reproduction Ö had to Õ be labelled
with risk phrases (R phrases) to indicate both category 1 or 2 and
category 3 classification. However, providing both R phrases sends a
conflicting message. Preparations should therefore only be classified and labelled with the higher category. ê 2001/60/EC
recital 2 (adapted) (14)
Ö The references
to R phrase R40 in Directive 67/548/EEC were amended by Õ Commission
Directive 2001/59/EC[15]
when Ö R phrase R40 was Õ assigned to
carcinogens of category 3. Consequently, the old wording of R phrase R40 Ö became Õ R68 and Ö was used Õ for mutagens
of category 3 and for certain substances with non-lethal irreversible effects. Ö The references to R phrase R40 in this Directive should be adapted
accordingly. Õ ê 2001/60/EC
recital 3 (adapted) (15)
Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC Ö as amended by Directive 2001/59/EC gives Õ clear advice
on the classification of substances and preparations for corrosive effects. Ö In this
Directive, preparations should therefore be classified Õ accordingly. ê 2001/60/EC
recital 4 (adapted) (16)
It is known that cement preparations containing chromium (VI) may cause allergic
reactions in certain circumstances. Such preparations Ö should Õ display Ö the relevant Õ warning label. ê 2001/60/EC
recital 1 (adapted) (17)
Ö Directive 67/548/EEC as amended by Õ Commission
Directive 98/98/EC[16]
provides for new criteria and a new R phrase (R67) for vapours which may
cause drowsiness and dizziness. Ö Preparations should be classified and labelled accordingly Õ. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 7 (adapted) (18)
Criteria developed for classifying and labelling
substances dangerous for the environment were introduced Ö together with the appropriate symbols, indications of danger, risk
phrases and safety advice required to appear on labelling, Õ by Ö Council Directive 92/32/EEC of 30 April 1992 amending for
the seventh time Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the laws,
regulation and administrative provisions relating to the classification,
packaging and labelling of dangerous substances[17] and by Commission Directive
93/21/EEC of 27 April 1993 adapting to technical progress for the 18th time
Council Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulation and
administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and
labelling of dangerous substances[18]. Õ Provisions Ö are required Õ at Ö Union Õ level on the
classification and labelling of preparations to take account of their effects
on the environment, and it is therefore necessary to Ö provide for Õ a method for
assessing the hazards of a given preparation for the environment either by a
calculation method, or by determining the ecotoxicological properties by test
methods under certain conditions. ê 2006/8/EC
recital 2 (adapted) (19)
For substances very
toxic to the aquatic environment (classified as N) and assigned the R phrases
R50 or R50/53, specific concentration limits (SCLs) are applied to substances
listed in Table 3.2 of Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008 in order to avoid an underestimation of the hazard. This measure
creates distortions between preparations containing substances listed in Ö that Õ Annex, to which SCLs are applied, and those
preparations containing substances not yet included in Ö that Õ Annex, but classified and labelled provisionally in
accordance with Article 6 of Directive 67/548/EEC and to which no SCLs are
applicable. It is therefore necessary to ensure that SCLs are applied in the
same way to all preparations containing substances very toxic to the aquatic
environment. ê 2006/8/EC
recital 3 (adapted) (20)
Directive 2001/59/EC revised the criteria in
Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC for the classification and labelling of
ozone depleting substances. The revised Annex III now only provides for the
assignment of the symbol N in addition to R phrase R59. Ö Preparations should be classified and labeled accordingly. Õ ê 1999/45/EC
recital 20 (21)
The confidentiality of certain substances
contained in the preparations should be guaranteed, and it is therefore
necessary to institute a system which allows the person responsible for placing
the preparation on the market to request confidentiality for such substances. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 16 (adapted) (22)
The label constitutes a basic tool for users of
the dangerous preparations in so far as it provides them with the initial
essential concise information. It nevertheless needs to be supplemented by a
two-fold system of more detailed information, consisting firstly of the safety
data sheet intended for professional users Ö as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Õ and secondly
of the bodies appointed by the Member States which are responsible for the
provision of information solely for medical purposes, both preventive and
curative. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 4 (23)
Containers containing certain categories of
dangerous preparations offered or sold to the general public must be fitted
with child-resistant fastenings and/or carry a tactile warning of danger.
Certain preparations not falling within these categories of danger may
nevertheless, owing to their composition, present a danger for children. The
packaging of such preparations should therefore be equipped with
child-resistant fastenings. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 15 (adapted) (24)
In order to take account
of certain preparations which, although they are not considered dangerous under
this Directive, may nevertheless present a danger for users, it is necessary Ö that Õ certain
provisions of this Directive cover such preparations. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 6 (adapted) (25)
This Directive contains special labelling
provisions applicable to certain preparations. To ensure an adequate level of
protection for man and the environment, special labelling provisions Ö should Õ also be Ö laid
down Õ for certain
preparations which, although not dangerous within the meaning of this
Directive, may nevertheless present a danger to the user. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 19 (adapted) (26)
In the case of preparations classified as
dangerous within the meaning of this Directive, it is appropriate to permit
Member States to allow certain derogations with respect to labelling where the
packaging is too small, or otherwise unsuitable for labelling, or where such
small packaging or such small quantities are involved that there is no reason
to fear any danger to man or the environment. In such cases appropriate
consideration should also be given to the approximation of the relevant provisions
at Ö Union Õ level. ê 1999/45/EC
recital 13 (27)
It is appropriate to provide, in relation to
environmental labelling, that specific exemptions or specific provisions may be
decided upon in specific cases where it can be demonstrated that the overall
environmental impact of the product types in question is lower than that of
corresponding product types. ò new (28)
In order to supplement
or amend certain non-essential elements of this Directive, the power to adopt
acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of determining
exemptions to certain provisions on environmental labelling, deciding on measures
in the framework of the special provisions on the labelling of certain
preparations and adapting the Annexes to technical progress. It is of
particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations
during its preparatory work, including at expert level.
The Commission, when
preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely
and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament
and Council. (29)
In order to ensure
uniform conditions for the implementation of this Directive, implementing
powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised
in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles
concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise
of implementing powers[19]. (30)
This Directive should
be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the
time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in
Annex VIII, Part B, ê 1999/45/EC HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: Article 1 Objectives

from its physico-chemical properties shall be assessed by determining, by means
of the methods specified in Part A of the Annex to Council Regulation (EC)
No 440/2008[25],
the physico-chemical properties of the preparation necessary for appropriate
classification and labelling in accordance with the criteria laid down in
Annex VI to Directive Ö 67/548/EEC Õ. ê 1999/45/EC 2. By way of
derogation from paragraph 1, the determination of the explosive,
oxidising, extremely flammable, highly flammable, or flammable properties is
not necessary provided that: (a) none of the constituents
possesses such properties and that, on the basis of the information available
to the manufacturer, the preparation is unlikely to present hazards of this
kind; (b) in the event of a change in the
composition of a preparation of known composition, scientific evidence indicates
that a reassessment of the hazards will not lead to a change in classification; (c) preparations placed on the market
in the form of aerosols satisfy the provisions of Article 8(1a) of Council
Directive 75/324/EEC[26]. 3. For certain cases for which the methods
laid down in Part A of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008
are not appropriate, alternative calculation methods are laid down in
Part B of Annex I to this Directive. 4. Certain exemptions from the application
of the methods laid down in Part A of the Annex to Regulation (EC)
No 440/2008 are referred to in Part A of Annex I to this
Directive. ê 1999/45/EC
(adapted) 5. The hazards deriving from the
physico-chemical properties of a preparation covered by Ö Regulation
(EC) No 1107/2009 Õ shall be
assessed by determining the physico-chemical properties of the preparation
necessary for appropriate classification in accordance with the criteria set
out in Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC. Those properties shall be
determined by means of the methods laid down in Part A of the Annex to
Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 unless other internationally recognised
methods are acceptable in accordance with the provisions of Ö Commission
Regulations (EU) No 544/2011[27]
and (EU) No 545/2011[28] Õ. Article 6 Evaluation
of health hazards 1. The
health hazards of a preparation shall be assessed by one or more of the
following procedures: (a) by a conventional method
described in Annex II; (b) by determining the toxicological
properties of the preparation necessary for appropriate classification in
accordance with the criteria in Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC.
Those properties shall be determined by means of the methods laid down in
Part B of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, unless, in the
case of plant protection products, other internationally recognised methods are
acceptable in accordance with the provisions of Ö Regulations
(EU) No 544/2011 and (EU) No 545/2011 Õ. 2. Without prejudice to the requirements of
Ö Regulation (EC)
No 1107/2009 Õ, only where it
can be scientifically demonstrated by the person responsible for placing the
preparation on the market that the toxicological properties of the preparation
cannot correctly be determined by the method outlined in point (a) of
paragraph 1, or on the basis of existing test results on animals, the
methods outlined in point (b) of paragraph 1 may be used, provided
they are justified or specifically authorised under Article 12 of
Directive 86/609/EEC. When a toxicological property is
established by the methods outlined in point (b) of paragraph 1 to
obtain new data, the test shall be conducted in compliance with the principles
of good laboratory practice provided for in Directive 2004/10/EC of the
European Parliament and the Council[29]
and the provisions of Directive 86/609/EEC, in particular Articles 7
and 12 thereof. Subject to the provisions of
paragraph 3, where a toxicological property has been established on the
basis of both the methods outlined in points (a) and (b) of
paragraph 1, the results from the methods outlined in point (b) of
paragraph 1 shall be used for classifying the preparation, except in the
case of carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic effects for reproduction for which
only the method outlined in point (a) of paragraph 1 shall be used. Any of the toxicological properties of the
preparation which are not assessed by the method outlined in point (b) of
paragraph 1 shall be assessed in accordance with the method outlined in point (a)
of paragraph 1. 3.
Furthermore, where it can be demonstrated by epidemiological studies, by
scientifically valid case studies as specified by Annex VI to
Directive 67/548/EEC or by statistically backed experience, such as the
assessment of data from poison information units or concerning occupational
diseases: –
that toxicological effects on man differ from
those suggested by the application of the methods outlined in paragraph 1,
then the preparation shall be classified according to its effects on man, –
that, owing to effects such as potentiation, a
conventional assessment would underestimate the toxicological hazard, those
effects shall be taken into account in classifying the preparation, –
that, owing to effects such as antagonism, a
conventional assessment would overestimate the toxicological hazard, those
effects shall be taken into account in classifying the preparation. 4. For
preparations of a known composition, with the exception of those covered by Ö Regulation
(EC) No 1107/2009 Õ, classified in
accordance with point (b) of paragraph 1, a new evaluation of health
hazard by the methods outlined in either point (a) or point (b) of
paragraph 1 shall be performed whenever: –
changes of composition of the initial
concentration, as a weight/weight or volume/volume percentage, of one or more
of the dangerous constituents are introduced by the manufacturer, in accordance
with the following table: Initial concentration range of the constituent || Permitted variation in initial concentration of the constituent ≤ 2,5 % || ± 30 % > 2,5 ≤ 10 % || ± 20 % > 10 ≤ 25 % || ± 10 % > 25 ≤ 100 % || ± 5 % –
changes of composition involving the
substitution or addition of one or more constituents, which may or may not be
dangerous within the meaning of the definitions set out in Article 2, are
introduced by the manufacturer. This new evaluation will apply unless there
is valid scientific justification for considering that a re-evaluation of the
hazard will not result in a change of classification. Article 7 Evaluation
of environmental hazards 1. The
hazards of a preparation for the environment shall be assessed by one or more
of the following procedures: (a) by a conventional method
described in Annex III ; (b) by determining the hazardous
properties of the preparation for the environment necessary for appropriate
classification in accordance with the criteria set out in Annex VI to
Directive 67/548/EEC. Those properties shall be determined by means of the
methods laid down in Part C of the Annex to Regulation (EC)
No 440/2008 unless, in the case of plant protection products, other
internationally recognised methods are acceptable in accordance with the
provisions of Ö Regulations (EU)
No 544/2011 and (EU) No 545/2011 Õ. Without
prejudice to the testing requirements Ö laid down
in or pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 Õ, the
conditions for application of the test methods are described in Part C of
Annex III to this Directive. 2. Where an ecotoxicological property is
established by one of the methods outlined in point (b) of paragraph 1
to obtain new data, the test shall be conducted in compliance with the
principles of good laboratory practice provided for in Directive 2004/10/EC and
with the provisions of Directive 86/609/EEC. Where the environmental hazards have been
assessed in compliance with both of the procedures mentioned above, the results
of the methods referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 shall be used
for classifying the preparation. 3. For preparations of a known composition,
with the exception of those covered by Ö Regulation
(EC) No 1107/2009 Õ, classified in
accordance with the method outlined in point (b) of paragraph 1, a
new evaluation of environmental hazard either by the method outlined in
point (a) of paragraph 1 or that outlined in point (b) of
paragraph 1 shall be performed whenever: –
changes of composition of the initial
concentration, as a weight/weight or volume/volume percentage, of one or more
of the dangerous constituents are introduced by the manufacturer, in accordance
with the following table: Initial concentration range of the constituent || Permitted variation in initial concentration of the constituent ≤ 2,5 % || ± 30 % > 2,5 ≤ 10 % || ± 20 % > 10 ≤ 25 % || ± 10 % > 25 ≤ 100 % || ± 5 % –
changes of composition involving the
substitution or addition of one or more constituents, which may or may not be
dangerous within the meaning of the definitions set out in Article 2, are
introduced by the manufacturer. This new evaluation will apply unless there
is valid scientific justification for considering that a re-evaluation of the
hazard will not result in a change of classification. ê 1999/45/EC

name that identifies the most important functional chemical groups or by means
of an alternative name. This procedure may not be applied where the substance
concerned has been assigned a Ö Union Õ exposure
limit. Where the person responsible for placing a
preparation on the market wishes to take advantage of confidentiality
provisions, he shall make a request to the competent authority of the Member
State in which the preparation is to be first placed on the market. This request Ö shall Õ be made in
accordance with the provisions of Annex VI and Ö shall Õ provide the
information required in the form in Part A of that Annex. The competent
authority may nevertheless request further information from the person
responsible for placing the preparation on the market if such information
appears necessary in order to evaluate the validity of the request. The authority of the Member State receiving
a request for confidentiality shall notify the applicant of its decision. The
person responsible for placing the preparation on the market shall forward a
copy of this decision to each of the Member States where he wishes to market
the product. Confidential information brought to the
attention of the authorities of a Member State or of the Commission shall be Ö kept
secret Õ. ò new In all cases such information: –
may be brought to the
attention only of the competent authority or authorities responsible for receiving
the information necessary for evaluating the foreseeable risks which the
preparations may entail for man and the environment, and examining its
conformity with the requirements of this Directive, –
may, however, be divulged

of Member States to specify, in compliance with the Treaty, the requirements
they deem necessary to ensure that workers are protected when using the
dangerous preparations in question, provided that this does not mean that the
classification, packaging, and labelling of dangerous preparations are modified
in a way not provided for in this Directive. Article 16 Bodies
responsible for receiving information relating to health Member States shall appoint the body or
bodies responsible for receiving information, including chemical composition,
relating to preparations placed on the market and considered dangerous on the
basis of their health effects or on the basis of their physico-chemical
effects. Member States shall take the necessary
steps to ensure that the appointed bodies provide all the requisite guarantees
for maintaining the confidentiality of the information received. Such
information may only be used to meet any medical demand by formulating

HEALTH HAZARDS OF PREPARATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 6 Introduction An assessment must be made for all the
health effects corresponding to the health effects of substances contained in a
preparation. This conventional method described in Parts A and B of this
Annex is a calculation method which is applicable to all preparations and which
takes into consideration all the health hazards of substances contained in the
preparation. For that purpose the dangerous health effects have been subdivided
into: 1. acute lethal effects; 2. non-lethal irreversible effects
after a single exposure; 3. severe effects after repeated or
prolonged exposure; 4. corrosive effects, irritant
effects; 5. sensitising effects; 6. carcinogenic effects, mutagenic
effects, toxic effects for reproduction. The health
effects of a preparation are to be assessed in accordance with
Article 6(1)(a) by the conventional method described in Parts A and B
of this Annex using individual concentration limits: (a) where the dangerous substances
listed in è1 Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008 ç are assigned
concentration limits necessary for the application of the method of assessment
described in Part A of this Annex, these concentration limits must be
used; (b) where the dangerous substances do
not appear in è1 Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008 ç or appear
there without the concentration limits necessary for the application of the
method of evaluation described in Part A of this Annex, the concentration
limits must be assigned in accordance with the specifications in Part B of
this Annex. The procedure for classification is set out
in Part A of this Annex. The
classification of the substance(s) and the resulting classification of the
preparation are expressed: –
either by a symbol and one or more risk phrases,
or –
by categories (category 1, category 2
or category 3) also assigned risk phrases when substances and preparations
are shown to be carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction. Therefore it
is important to consider, in addition to the symbol, all the phrases denoting
specific risks which are assigned to each substance under consideration. The systematic assessment of all the
dangerous health effects is expressed by means of concentration limits,
expressed as a weight/weight percentage except for gaseous preparations where
they are expressed as a volume/volume percentage and in conjunction with the
classification of the substance. Where they are not given in è1 Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008 ç, the
concentration limits to be taken into account for the application of this conventional
method are those set out in Part B of this Annex. ê 1999/45/EC è1 1272/2008 Art. 56 pt. 2(d), first indent PART A Procedure for evaluation of health

C Test
methods for the evaluation of the hazards for the aquatic environment Normally, the classification of a
preparation is made on the basis of the conventional method. However, for the
determination of the acute aquatic toxicity, there may be cases for which it is
appropriate to carry out tests on the preparation. The result of these tests on the
preparation may only modify the classification concerning acute aquatic
toxicity which would have been obtained by the application of the conventional
method. If such tests are chosen by the person
responsible for the placing on the market, it must be ensured that the quality
criteria of the test methods in Part C Ö of the
Annex to Õ Regulation
(EC) No 440/2008 have been complied with. Furthermore, the tests are to be carried
out on all three species in conformity with the criteria of Annex VI to
Directive 67/548/EEC (algae, daphnia and fish), unless the highest hazard
classification relating to acute aquatic toxicity has been assigned to the
preparation after testing on one of the species or a test result was already
available before this Directive entered into force. _____________ ANNEX IV SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR CONTAINERS

IDENTITY OF A SUBSTANCE PART A Information to be communicated in
the request for confidentiality Introductory notes A. Article 14 indicates the
conditions in which the person responsible for placing a preparation on the
market may avail himself of the confidentiality. B. To avoid multiple requests for
confidentiality relating to the same substance used in different preparations,
a single request for confidentiality may suffice if a certain number of
preparations have: –
the same dangerous constituents present in the
same concentration range, –
the same classification and labelling, –
the same expected uses. A single alternative denomination must be used
to mask the chemical identity of the same substance in the preparations
concerned. Furthermore, the request for confidentiality must contain all
information indicated in the following request, without forgetting the name or
the trade name of each preparation. C. The alternative designation used
on the label must be the same as that given under Heading 3 ‘Composition/information
on ingredients’ of Ö Annex II Õ to Regulation
(EC) No 1907/2006. This implies that the alternative designation
used will contain enough information about the substance to ensure risk-free
handling. D. In making the request to use an
alternative designation the person responsible for placing on the market must
take into account the need to provide enough information for necessary health
and safety precautions to be taken in the workplace and to ensure that risks
from handling the preparation can be minimised. Request for confidentiality In accordance with Article 14 the
request for confidentiality must obligatorily contain the following
information: 1. Name and full address (including
telephone number) of the person established in the Ö Union Õ who is
responsible for placing the preparation on the market (manufacturer, importer
or distributor). 2. Precise identification of the
substance(s) for which confidentiality is proposed and the alternative

B Lexicon
guide for establishing the alternative designations (generic names) 1. Introductory note The lexicon guide is based on the procedure for
the classification of dangerous substances (division of substances into
families) which appears in è1 Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008 ç. Alternative designations to those based on this
guide may be used. However, in all cases the names chosen must provide enough
information to ensure the preparation can be handled without risk and that
necessary health and safety precautions can be taken in the workplace. The families are defined in the following manner: –
inorganic or organic substances whose properties
are identified by having a common chemical element as their chief
characteristic. The family name is derived from the name of the chemical
element. These families are identified as in è2 Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008 ç by the atomic
number of the chemical element (001 to 103), –
organic substances whose properties are
identified by having a common functional group as their chief characteristics. The family name is derived from the functional
group name. These families are identified by the
conventional number found in è2 Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008 ç (601—650). Sub-families bringing together substances with
a common specific character have been added in certain cases. 2. Establishing the generic name General principles For the purposes of establishing the generic
name, the following general approach, involving two successive stages, is
adopted: (i) identification of the functional
groups and chemical elements present in the molecule; (ii) determination of the extent to which
account should be taken of the most important functional groups and chemical
elements. The identified functional groups and elements
taken into account are the names of the families and sub-families set out in
point 3 in the form of a non-restrictive list. 3.

Instead, use the families or sub-families mentioned above. 4. Practical application: After having conducted a search to see if the
substance belongs to one or more families or sub-families on the list, the
generic name can be established in the following way: 4.1. If the name of a family or
sub-family is sufficient to characterise the chemical elements or important
functional groups, this name will be chosen as the generic name. Examples: –
1,4 dihydroxybenzen family 604 || : || phenols and derivatives generic name || : || phenol derivatives –

methacrylate family 607 || : || organic acids and derivatives sub-family || : || acrylates generic name || : || acrylate 4.2. If the name of a family or
sub-family is not sufficient to characterise the chemical elements of important
functional groups, the generic name will be a combination of the corresponding
different family or sub-family names: Examples: –
chlorobenzene family 602 || : || halogenated hydrocarbons sub-family || : || halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons family 017 || : || chlorine compounds generic name || : || chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon –
2,3,6-trichlorophenylacetic acid family 607 || : || organic acids sub-family || : || halogenated aromatic acids family 017 || : || chlorine compounds generic name || : || chlorinated aromatic acid –
