What the notification says

The purpose of this draft proposal for a Commission Delegated Regulation under Article 37(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (the CLP Regulation) is to amend Table 3 of Part 3 of Annex VI to the CLP Regulation by introducing entries for substances already assessed under other Union legislation, in particular those identified as endocrine disruptors (ED), persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT), or very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (Plant Protection Products Regulation) and Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 (Biocidal Products Regulation), thereby avoiding duplication of hazard assessments and ensuring that approximately 107 substances are included in Annex VI of the CLP Regulation. This notification should be read in conjunction with the complementary notification concerning the addition of notes to Part 1, section 1.1.3, of Annex VI (6 pages including Annex, in English), which introduces notes clarifying how the harmonised classifications established by this act are to be applied in practice, in particular as regards the classification of mixtures and the use of additivity rules for specific groups of substances.
