The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has released an update to its Registry of Harmonised Classification and Labelling (CLH) Intentions Until Outcome.
The registry tracks proposals and ongoing evaluations for harmonised hazard classifications under the EU CLP Regulation, signaling which substances may receive new or revised hazard classifications across the European Union.
Latest Developments
The update highlights several substances moving through different stages of the CLH process, including:
• Newly submitted intentions for harmonised classification
• Chemicals entering the public consultation phase
• Proposals under review by the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC)
• Substances progressing toward final opinion adoption
These updates strengthen the EU’s chemical safety framework, ensuring transparent, science-based evaluation of hazardous substances.
Impact for Industry
Companies handling affected substances may need to:
• Review and update product labelling
• Revise Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
• Assess supply-chain communication needs
• Consider reformulation if classification affects product use or compliance
Timely monitoring of the CLH registry helps businesses prepare for regulatory outcomes and maintain full compliance with the CLP Regulation.
Recommended Actions
Industry stakeholders are advised to:
• Regularly track updates in the CLH registry
• Evaluate whether listed substances apply to their products or materials
• Participate in public consultation periods
• Prepare internal systems for labelling and SDS revisions upon publication of final decisions
