European list of notified chemical substances ELINCS

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... 

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.

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.

Assessment guidelines for new chemicals under an OECD protocol includes a toxicology assessment based on environmental and woikplace concerns. This assessment is available from national authorities. In the EU there is the European List of Notified Chemical Substances (ELINCS) and for existing substances EINECS. Some US states, e g. New Jersey and Peimsylvania, have right-to-know lists, and Canada has domestic and nondomestic substances lists. Australia has assessments under the ICNAS legislation implementing the OECD protocol. 

Between 1981 and 2007 manufacturers and importers notified the competent authorities of over 5,000 new substances, which were listed on the European List of Notified Chemical Substances (ELINCS). The Sixth Amendment left it to the competent authorities to utilize the testing data to assess the potential risks from these new chemical substances. 

Whereas the TSCA inventory is open and includes the existing substances and notified new substances in the European Union, there is a closed inventory of existing substances (European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances - EINECS) and a separate list of notified new substances (European List of Notified Chemical Substances - ELINCS). 

Is the colorant approved for use in the country in question To be used in the United States, the colorant would need to be registered with the Enviromnental Protection Agency (EPA) to be put on the TSCA (Toxic Substance Control Act) list or be exempted from approval. In the European Economic Community, the substance would need to be on the European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances (EINECS) [54] or the European List of Notified Chemical Substances (ELINCS) [55]. The chapter by Knight gives an excellent summary of the current state of regulatory affairs in Europe, North America, and the Pacific Rim countries [56].

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. 

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...

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. 

A new substance is defined as one which is not listed in the European Inventory of Exisfing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) and may be a substance in its own right or part of a preparation. After notification, new substances are entered in the European List of Notified Chemical Subsfances (ELINCS). Both lists give CAS numbers, lOPAC chemical names and some trade names and references. 

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 ). 

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).
