February 14th, 2012 · CLP, News

ECHA Publishes C&L Inventory

The eagerly awaited Classification & Labelling Inventory was published on 13th February 2012 and can be found following the link below:

This page also gives a link to a C&L Inventory Factsheet which is useful initial reading and helps makes sense of the Inventory.  At just 2 pages long, it’s also surprisingly concise for ECHA.  There’s also a handy video explaining how to use the search which we highly recommend.

NB. In a later transmission from IFRA, the QRA booklet was further updated. This included some changes to the applications appearing in IFRA Classes, so please ensure you refer to the latest version which has Revision date July 5th.
Also note that Category 1 has been separated into Class 1.A and Class 1.B, necessary due to the introduction of ‘Waxes for mechanical hair removal’ into Class 1.B.
