Introduction to ECHA's guidance on new CLP hazard classes

Online | 21/11/2024 | 1100 - 1300

Times are in EET, GMT +2

Are you impacted by the classification of substances under the CLP Regulation? This webinar gives an overview of the new ECHA guidance on the recently introduced hazard classes under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation.

The updated guidance has been developed by experts from ECHA, EU Member States, EU level non-governmental organisations and associations as well as other nominated experts. The guidance outlines the new hazard classes for endocrine disruptors, Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic or Very Persistent, Very Bioaccumulative (PBT/vPvB), and Persistent, Mobile, and Toxic or Very Persistent, Very Mobile (PMT/vPvM) properties. These additions aim to better protect human health and the environment by addressing emerging concerns in chemical safety.

During the webinar, we will discuss the protection goals and the classification criteria for the new hazard classes, as well as the development of the associated CLP guidance. You will also learn about the regulatory timelines and how ECHA manages the related administrative process once proposals for harmonised classification and labelling are submitted.
