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:
http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/information-on-chemicals/cl-inventory
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.

International Fragrance Association publish 46th Amendment
In June 2011 IFRA published its 46th Amendment. It included:
- Six new Standards, based on the QRA
- One new Standard prohibiting the use of an ingredient due to lack of adequate data
- Updated QRA Information Booklet
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.
