ELINCS

ELINCS (European List of Notified Chemical Substances)... 

The European List of Notified Chemical Substances (ELINCS) is published pursuant to Commission Decision. It consists of all chemical substances notified within the European Community between 18/9/81 and 30/6/92. Each entry in the list corresponding to a chemical substance has an EEC number and dossier number, identification by tradename and/or chemical name, a classification and name... 

The inventory of substances on the EU market is just over 100,000 substances listed in the EINECS register (European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances ) and ELINCS register (Eiuopean List of Notified New Substances ). 

New substances are registered in ELINCS (European List of Notified Chemical Substances). ELINCS is published in the Official Journal of the European Union. A 5th edition of ELINCS, compiling substances notified until 30 June 1995, is the last available update published in the Official Journal. A 6th edition, comprehensive of substances notified until 30 June 1998, and published in aU EU languages as a Commission document, is available online via Europa EUR-Lex Web site http // eur-lex.europa.eu/, located under Documents of Public Interest with reference COM(2003) 642, dated 29.10.2003. ELINCS is currently maintained in English only, and published only as an Internet document on the ECB Web site (ECB 2006), where the latest update replaces previous versions.

In Europe, 100,204 commercial chemical substances have been recognized and numbered under EINECS (European INventory of Existing Commercial chemical Substances) by the European Chemical Bureau (ECB) System. Another 4,381 new substances are classified under ELINCS Information System (European List of Notified Chemical Substances) since May 11, 1981. Among these. In Europe 1,230 chemical substances are officially identified as irritant or corrosive with Xi and C pictograms and risk sentences. 

New chemicals produced after the EINECS list was closed were required to be the subject of a battery of tests, depending on the quantity, before they could be registered for use and shipment. The ever-growing list of new substances was first published under the title European List of Notified Chemicals Substances (ELINCS) on May 29,1991 and is updated periodically. A brief outline of the major tests required before a new substance can be registered is provided later. 

Increased production levels require additional toxicology and ecotoxicology data to ensure that prolonged exposure effects are understood.10 Today, the ELINCS system is being progressed under European proposals labeled REACH—Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals.

The European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) consists of substances on the market in the European Community between 1971 and 1981.19 These substances may be imported or manufactured without further notification. The list of 100,106 substances was published in 1990, and the contents are fixed. All chemicals that will be marketed after the September 18,1981 are not placed on the EINECS. These chemicals have to be notified before they will be placed on the market according to the sixth Amendment of Directive 67/548/EEC, Directive 79/831/EEC. Once assessed, these new chemicals are listed on the European List of New Chemical Substances (ELINCS).20 These substances must be notified by each new importer/manufacturer (although sometimes reduced notification packages may be accepted if the substance has already...

An EC-number is a seven-digit code allocated by the Commission of the European Communities for commercially available chemical substances within the European Union. This EC-number replaces the previous EINECS and ELINCS numbers issued by the same organization, (http //ecb.jrc.it/data-collection/ accessed December 11, 2007). 

Inventory Status All components are on TSCA, EINECS/ELINCS, AICS, and DSL.

Since its original introduction, amendments have expanded and updated the provisions of the Directive. Procedures for notification of new substances were introduced with the 6th Amendment to the Directive in 1979. In order to define new substances , it was necessary to establish an inventory of chemicals then on the Community market. EINECS, the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Substances, was compiled as of 18th September 1981. New chemicals, notified within the European Community after that date, are added to the European List of Notified (New) Chemical Substances (ELINCS). 

Hence, many identical substances may be represented on EINECS differently. In the past, this duplication may not have caused a serious problem, but under REACH this will change. Multiple interpretations as to how a chemical is named and duplicative entries for substances that are pre-registered will lead to duplication of effort and result in an unnecessary escalation of cost and time for compliance. New chemicals registered under the old regime which became part of ELINCS used lUPAC nomenclature conventions. 

Solvent Innovation, in cooperation with Degussa, has obtained an ELINCS-Listing for 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazoliumethylsulfate (ECOENG 212) (Fig. 2.2-5) [6]. Toxicity studies were conducted and showed an LD50 (oral, Wistar rats) > 2000 mg kg h Acute toxicides studies in Daphnia magna induced no immobilization after 48 h, at 100 mgl h... 

BASF has obtained an ELINCS-listing for another imidazolium-based ionic liquid, Tbutyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, (see Chapter 9 by M. Maase). This ionic liquid had to be classified as toxic, but this does not of course prevent its use in applications where no direct personal contact with this ionic liquid is necessary. Air Products for example recently disclosed an exciting application of [BMIMJCl used in a special formulation as a medium for the storage of hazardous gases [24] where toxicity of this ionic liquid is not prohibitive for its use. The results of both studies... 

ELINCS (European List of New Chemical Substances) is the European List of Notified Chemical Substances. These are all the substances notified under the legislation of Directive 67/548/EEC.
