COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/521

of 27 March 2019

amending, for the purposes of its adaptation to technical and scientific progress Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (1), and in particular Article 53(1) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 harmonises the provisions and criteria for the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures and certain specific articles within the Union. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 harmonises the provisions and criteria for the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures and certain specific articles within the Union.

| (2) | Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 takes into account the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (UN). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 takes into account the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (UN).

| (3) | The classification criteria and labelling rules of the GHS are periodically reviewed at the UN level. The sixth and seventh revised editions of the GHS result from changes adopted in 2014 and 2016 respectively by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The classification criteria and labelling rules of the GHS are periodically reviewed at the UN level. The sixth and seventh revised editions of the GHS result from changes adopted in 2014 and 2016 respectively by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and on the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.

| (4) | The sixth and seventh revised editions of the GHS trigger the need to amend some technical provisions and criteria on classification, labelling and packaging in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. In particular, these further developments of the GHS introduce a new hazard class for desensitised explosives and a new hazard category, pyrophoric gases, within the hazard class flammable gases. Other changes include adaptations to: the criteria for substances and mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases, the generic cut-off values; the general provisions to classify aerosol forms of mixtures; and the detail of the definitions and classification criteria as appropriate for the hazard classes explosives, flammable gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, acute toxicity, skin corrosion/irritation, serious eye damage/eye irritation, respiratory and skin sensitisation, germ cell mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, specific target organ toxicity and aspiration hazard. In addition, amendments are introduced to some hazard and precautionary statements. It is therefore necessary to adapt some technical provisions and criteria in Annexes I, II, III, IV, V and VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 to take account of the sixth and seventh revised editions of the GHS. |

It is therefore necessary to adapt some technical provisions and criteria in Annexes I, II, III, IV, V and VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 to take account of the sixth and seventh revised editions of the GHS.

| (5) | Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly. |

(5)

Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

To ensure that suppliers of substances and mixtures have time to adapt to the new classification, labelling and packaging provisions, the application of this Regulation should be deferred.

| (7) | In line with the transitional provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 which allow the application of the new provisions at an earlier stage on a voluntary basis, suppliers should have the possibility of applying the new classification, labelling and packaging provisions on a voluntary basis before the date of application of this Regulation. |

  ‘3.7.1.1. | Reproductive toxicity means adverse effects on sexual function and fertility in adult males and females, as well as developmental toxicity in the offspring, occurring after exposure to a substance or mixture. The definitions presented below are adapted from those agreed as working definitions in IPCS/EHC Document No 225, Principles for Evaluating Health Risks to Reproduction Associated with Exposure to Chemicals. For classification purposes, the known induction of genetically based inheritable effects in the offspring is addressed in Germ Cell Mutagenicity (Section 3.5), since in the present classification system it is considered more appropriate to address such effects under the separate hazard class of germ cell mutagenicity.

  Up to now, the calculation method is validated for mixtures containing up to six volatile components.

It is however not yet validated for mixtures containing halogenated, sulphurous, and/or phosphoric compounds as well as reactive acrylates.

  At present, recognised and validated animal models for the testing of respiratory hypersensitivity are not available. Under certain circumstances, data from animal studies may provide valuable information in a weight of evidence assessment.

  The mechanisms by which substances induce symptoms of asthma are not yet fully known. For preventative measures, these substances are considered respiratory sensitisers. However, if on the basis of the evidence, it can be demonstrated that these substances induce symptoms of asthma by irritation only in people with bronchial hyper-reactivity, they shall not be considered as respiratory sensitisers.’

  Unstable explosives as defined in Section 2.1 can also be stabilised by desensitisation and consequently may be classified as desensitised explosives, provided all criteria of Section 2.17 are met. In this case the desensitised explosive shall be tested according to test series 3 (Part I of the UN RTDG, Manual of Tests and Criteria) because information about its sensitiveness to mechanical stimuli is likely to be important for determining conditions for safe handling and use. The results shall be communicated in the safety data sheet.
