News from ECHA
| Research needs for regulating hazardous chemicals updated We have updated our report on key areas of regulatory challenge. The report now gives more detailed information on the areas where scientific research is needed to protect people and the environment from hazardous chemicals.
Join also our webinar on 18 June 2024 where our experts, together with those from the European Environment Agency and European Food Safety Authority, explain the regulatory framework and illustrate how scientific research projects could contribute to bridging knowledge gaps.

CLP
Consultations on harmonised classification and labelling We are looking for comments on the harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) proposals for: O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate (EC 205-517-7, CAS 141-98-0);
1-ethoxy-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethane (EC 213-690-5, CAS 1002-67-1);
Silica, amorphous, fumed, cryst.-free; Pyrogenic, synthetic amorphous silica, nano [1]
Silica gel, pptd., cryst.-free; Precipitated silica, silica gel, colloidal silica, amorphous, nano [2] (EC -[1]; -[2], CAS 112945-52-5 [1]; 112926-00-8 [2]); and
flonicamid (ISO); N-(cyanomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-carboxamide (EC -, CAS 158062-67-0).The flonicamid (ISO); N-(cyanomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-3-carboxamide proposal format combines the draft (renewal) assessment report prepared according to the Plant Protection Products Regulation and the proposal for CLH under the CLP regulation. For additional information, consult the European Commission’s Guidelines on Active Substances and Plant Protection Products.
For more information on this active substance and on the studies included in the CLH report, consult the draft assessment report on the European Food Safety Authority's consultation website.
Have your say until 9 August 2024.
New intentions to harmonise classification and labelling One intention has been submitted for: Bis(pentane-2,4-dionato)calcium (EC 243-001-3, CAS 19372-44-2). |

Prior Informed Consent (PIC)
New version of ePIC now available Our IT tool for submitting export and import notifications under the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) Regulation, ePIC, has been updated on 11 June 2024. The main changes are: A combined nomenclature (CN) code is required for each Annex I chemical present in the mixture or article composition. Before submitting new notifications, companies must update their existing datasets with CN codes for each PIC chemical included in the mixture or article composition. Earlier, only the CN code for the mixture itself was required.
Resubmissions of export notifications close to the export date specified in the initial submission are blocked. The expected date of first export needs to be at least 20 days after the resubmission.Log in to ePIC for more information. |
