NOTIFICATION  
 
Addendum 
  
 The following communication, dated 28 August 2012,  is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of the European Union.  
 
_______________ 
  
 The European Union would like to inform the WTO Members that the draft Commission 
Directive amending Council Directive 75/324/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member 
States relating to aerosol dispensers in order to adapt its labelling provisions to Regulation (EC) 
No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packag ing of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation) 
has been amended.  
The amendments concern the following points: 
- The labelling provision for extremely flammable aerosol (signal word "Danger" instead of 
 "Warning"); - The presentation has been changed to improve readability: a distinc tion is made between 
 labelling provisions applicable for all aerosol  dispensers whatever the contents and labelling 
 provisions for "non-flammable", "flammable" and "extremely flammable" aerosols. Where 
 possible, the proposal makes reference to the precautionary statements and hazard statements 
 only without adding the corresponding text. By  doing so, subsequent changes in the 
 CLP Regulation will not require changes to the Aerosols Dispensers Directive as long as the 
 codes are not changed; - The precautionary statement "Keep out of reach  of children" is replaced by the statement 
 P102 only and added as a labelling requireme nt for consumer aerosol dispensers.
