Classification and Labelling Inventory

A classification and labeling inventory of dangerous substances will help promote agreement within industry on classification of a substance. For some substances of high concern there may be a Community-wide harmonization of classification by the authorities. Access to information rules combines a system of publicly available information over the Internet, the current system of requests for access to information, and REACH specific rules on the protection of confidential business information.

Chapter 4 - Classification and Labelling - Manufacturers or importers of a polymer have a duty to classify and label the polymer before placing it on the market. Manufacturers or importers that place a polymer on the market must also make a notification to the classification and labelling inventory at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Manufacturers or importers of a polymer have a duty to classify monomer substances that they are registering as part of the technical dossier. This chapter describes what needs to be done to classify the chemicals used and how to label them. This chapter also explains who needs to do the labelling and classification, and how any health hazards are to be dealt with in the labelling.

The Classification and Labelling Inventory is a central database of chemical substances on the EU market. The Inventory contains the classification and labelling information on substances submitted to the ECHA through REACH registrations and CLP notifications. The Inventory includes substances that have a harmonised classification. The full database is accessible to the competent authorities of the member state, but key information from the Inventory will also be made public on the ECHA website. Neither confidential business information nor the identity of companies will be disclosed to the public.

The EINECS Plus-CD incorporates three databases the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS), the European List of Notified Chemical Substances (ELNICS), and the list of dangerous substances, whose classification and labeling is prescribed by EC legislation.

Substances not included in the final inventory are defined as new and must be notified to the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Youth and the Family befcse they are manufactured or imported, unless notified mere than 10 years neviously. The authorities will publish an annual list of those substances which were notified 10 years earlier. New substances supplied exclusively for testing purposes are exempt from notification. Also exempt are those exported to specified countries where there are equivalent regulations for the notification or safety assessment of new substances, although the Austrian authorities must be notified in writing of the substance s identity and the expected production and expmt quantities, as well as the classification, labelling and proposed uses of hazardous substances. Finally, polymers are not notifiable, unless they contain >2% (by weight) in chemically-bound form of a new substance monomer.
