HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Objectives
1. The purpose of this Regulation is to establish a common system
of notification and information for importsfrom and exportsto thirdcountries of certain chemicals which are banned or severely restrictedon account of their effectson human health and the environment and toapply the international notification and ‘prior informed consent’ (PIC)
procedure established by the United Nations Environment Programme
(UNEP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)(
2).
2. The purpose of this Regulation is also to ensure that the provi-
sions of Directive 67/548/EEC on the classification, packaging and
labelling of substances dangerous to man or the environment when
they are placed on the market in the Member States shall also applyto such substances when they are exported from the Member States tothird countries.
3. This Regulation does not apply to substances or preparations
imported or exported for the purposes of analysis or scientific researchand development asdefined in Article 2, where the quantitiesinvolved1992R2455 — EN — 14.03.2002 — 006.001 — 3

are sufficiently small that they are unlikely to affect human health or
the environment adversely.
Article 2
Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall
apply:
1.‘chemical subject to notification’ meansany of the chemical
substances listed in Annex I and preparations containing any ofthese chemicals if the preparation has a labelling obligation under
Community legislation as a result of the presence of the Annex I
chemical;
2.‘chemical subject to the PIC procedure’ meanseach chemical
listed in Annex II, whether by itself or in preparations, whether
manufactured or obtained from nature, unless its concentration in
a preparation isins ufficient for a labelling requirement underCommunity legislation.
3.‘banned chemical’ meansa chemical which has , for health or
environmental reasons, been prohibited for all uses by final govern-
mental regulatory action;
4.‘severelyrestricted chemical’ meansa chemical for which, for
health or environmental reasons, virtually all uses have beenprohibited by final governmental regulatory action but for whichcertain specific uses remain authorized;
5.‘export’ means
(a) the permanent or temporary export of productsmeeting the
conditionsof Article 9 (2) of the Treaty,
(b) the re-export of productsnot meeting the conditionsreferred to
in (a) which are placed under a customs procedure other thantransit procedure;

should not proceed without the agreement, where such agreement
exists, or contrary to the decision of the designated nationalauthority of the importing country;
8.‘reference number’ means the number assigned by the Commis-
sion to each chemical subject to notification when it is exported
for the first time to a third country. This number remainsunchanged for every subsequent export of the same chemical fromthe Community to the same third country;
9.‘labelling’ meansthe provis ion on a label of information related to
the potential hazard to health, safety or the environment from use
of the chemical. It doesnot refer to labelling requirementsfor thetransport of dangerous goods.

Article 3
Designation of authorities
1. Each Member State shall designate the authority or authorities,
hereinafter referred to as the ‘designated authority’ or ‘designatedauthorities’, competent for the notification and information procedureslaid down by this Regulation. It shall inform the Commission of suchdesignation.1992R2455 — EN — 14.03.2002 — 006.001 — 4
▼B
2. Asfar asthe participation of the Community in the international
PIC procedure is concerned, the Commission shall act as commondesignated authority with regard to receiving information from the
competent bodiesdealing with the international PIC procedure and for
providing information to these bodies on common decisions whichhave been taken in close cooperation and consultation with the MemberStatesin accordance with the provis ionsof Article 5.
Article 4
Exports to third countries
1. When a chemical subject to notification is due to be exported
from the Community to a third country for the first time following thedate as of which ist becomes subject to the provisions of this Regula-tion, the exporter shall provide the designated authority of the MemberState in which he is established, no later than 30 days before the export
isdue to take place, with the information contained in Annex III neces -
sary to enable the designated authority to effect a notification. Thedesignated authority shall take the necessary measures to ensure thatthe appropriate authoritiesof the country of des tination receive notifi-cation of the intended export. Such notification, which shall as far as
possible be made at least 15 days before export, must comply with
the requirementss et out in Annex III.
Where the export of a chemical relatesto an emergency s ituation in
which any delay may endanger public health or the environment inthe importing country, the provisions referred to above may be waived
wholly or partly at the discretion of the designated authority of the
exporting Member State.
The designated authority shall send a copy of the notification to the
Commission, which shall forward it to the designated authorities ofthe other Member Statesand to the International Regis ter of PotentiallyToxic Chemicals(IRPTC).
The Commission shall assign a reference number to each notification
received and communicate it immediately to the designated authoritiesof the Member States. It shall periodically publish a list of these refer-ence numbersin the Official Journal of the European Communities ,
stating the chemical concerned and the third country of destination.
Until a relevant reference number ispublis hed in the Official Journal
of the European Communities , the exporter shall assume that such an
export has not previously taken place unless he can obtain from thedesignated authority of the Member State in which he is establishedthe relevant reference number previously assigned by the Commission.
2. The designated authority of the relevant Member State shall
inform the Commission as soon as possible of any significant reactionfrom the country of destination. The Commission shall ensure that theother Member States are informed as soon as possible of that country'sreaction.
3. For every subsequent export of the chemical concerned from the
Community to the same third country, the exporter shall ensure that theexport isaccompanied by reference to the number of the notificationeither published in the Official Journal of the European Communities
or obtained by it from the designated authority of the Member Statein which he is established pursuant to the fourth subparagraph of para-
graph 1.
4. New notification according to paragraph 1 must be given for
exports which take place subsequent to major changes to Communitylegislation concerning the marketing and use or labelling of thesubstances in question or whenever the composition of the preparation
in question changes to such an extent that the labelling of such prepara-
tion isaltered. The new notification mus t comply with the requirementsset out in Annex III and must indicate that it is a revision of a previousnotification. Information to the effect that a new notification isneededshall be published in the Official Journal of the European Commu-
nities.1992R2455 — EN — 14.03.2002 — 006.001 — 5
▼B
The Commission shall send new notifications to the designated national
authoritiesof countrieswhich have received notification of the exportfrom the Community of the substance or preparation in question in the
six months prior to the relevant changes to Community legislation.
5. As regards the transmission of information within the meaning of
paragraph 1, the Member States and the Commission shall take account
of the need to protect the confidentiality of data and ownership in both
the Member Statesand the countriesof des tination.
The following shall not be regarded as confidential:
— the names of the substance;
— the namesof the preparation;
— the names of substances in Annex I contained in the preparation
and their percentage in the preparation;
— the names of the main impurities in the substances in Annex I;
— the name of the manufacturer or exporter;
— information on the precautionsto be taken, including the category
of danger, the nature of the risk and the relevant warnings;
— physico-chemical data concerning the substances;
— the summary results of the toxicological and ecotoxicological tests;
— the possible ways of rendering the substance harmless;— the information contained in the safety data sheet;
— the country of destination.
Article 5
Participation in the international notification and ‘prior informed
consent’ (PIC) procedure
1. The Commission shall notify the competent bodies dealing with
the international PIC procedure of the chemicalswhich are banned or
severely restricted in the Community (Annex I). It shall provide allrelevant information, especially on the identity of the chemicals, theirdangerous properties, Community labelling requirements and necessaryprecautionary measures. It shall also identify the relevant controlactionsand the reas onsfor them.
2. The Commission shall forward forthwith to the Member States
information which it receivesregarding chemicalss ubject to the PICprocedure and the decisions of third countries regarding the imposition
of bans or import conditions on these chemicals. The Commission shall
evaluate in close cooperation with the Member States the risks posedby the chemicals. The Commission shall take its decision, includinginterim decisions, in accordance with the procedure laid down inArticle 21 of Directive 67/548/EEC. It shall then inform the IRPTCwhether import into the Community of each ot the chemicalsis
allowed, prohibited or restricted.
When such a decision is taken, the following principles shall be
observed:
(a) in the case of a substance or preparation banned by Community
legislation: import consent for the banned use shall be refused;
(b) in the case of a substance or preparation severely restricted by
Community legislation: import consent shall be subject to condi-tions; the appropriate conditions shall be decided on a case by
case basis;
(c) in the case of a substance or preparation not banned or severely
restricted by Community legislation: import consent shall not
normally be refused; however, if the Commission, in consultationwith Member States, considers that a proposal should be made tothe Council to ban or severely restrict a substance or preparationnot produced in the Community, interim import conditions, set on
a case by case basis, may be imposed until the Council has taken a
decision on the proposed severe restriction or permanent ban.
In the case of a substance or preparation banned or severely restricted
by legislation of one or more Member State, the Commission shall, at1992R2455 — EN — 14.03.2002 — 006.001 — 6
▼B
the written request of the Member State concerned, prepare its decision
on the reply to be made to the IRPTC, taking into consideration thatMember State's bans or severe restrictions.
The Commission shall, whenever practicable, make use of existing
Community procedures and shall ensure that the response does not
conflict with existing Community legislation.
3. Annex II shall comprise the following:
(a) the international list of banned and severely restricted chemicals
subject to the PIC procedure established by the UNEP and FAO;
(b) a list of the countries participating in the PIC scheme;
and
(c) the decisions of these countries (including the Community Member
States) regarding the import of the chemicals listed in (a) above.
The Commission shall immediately notify the Member States of infor-
mation which it receivesregarding changesto the above. It s hallperiodically publish these changes in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.
4. The exporter shall be required to comply with the decision of the
country of destination participating in the PIC procedure.
5. If a participating importing country does not make a response or
responds with an interim decision which does not address importation,the status quo with respect to imports of the chemical should continue.
Thismeansthat the chemical s hould not be exported without the
explicit consent of the importing country, unless it is a pesticide whichisregis tered in the importing country or isa chemical the us e or impor-tation of which hasbeen allowed by other action of the importingcountry.
Article 6
Infringements
Member States shall take appropriate legal or administrative action in
the event of infringement of the provisions of this Regulation.
Article 7
Packaging and labelling
1. Dangerouschemicalswhich are intended for export s hall be
subject to the measures on packaging and labelling established pursuant
to Directive 67/548/EEC or, asappropriate, of other Directives

State from which the goodsare to be exported or in which they havebeen produced. Thisobligation s hall be without prejudice to anyspecific requirements of the importing third country. The label need
comply with the requirementsof the importing third country only if
such requirements ensure that the label has all the health, safety andenvironment-related information which Community use would require.
2. The information on the label s hall asfar aspracticable be given
in the language(s), or in one or more of the principal languages, of thecountry of destination or of the area of intended use.

ANNEX II
The information contained in this Annex is based on the PIC Circular XIII —
June 2001
1.List of chemicals subject to the international PIC procedure
The following chemicalshave been introduced in the PIC procedure
following control actionsreported by participating countries .
Decision Guidance Documents (DGDs) have been prepared to help countries
to make import decisions concerning those chemicals. Nevertheless, the DGD
isnot the only information taken into account by countrieswhen they take
their import decision.
Therefore, the import decision does not necessarily refer to the uses
mentioned in the DGD.
For some chemicals, the PIC procedure applies to certain specific formula-
tions only. These chemicals are denoted by the symbol (*). For further
details please refer to the list of import responses in section 3.
