1. Classification and labeling
I have heard that you can translate existing classifications of CLP classifications. My product is not classified under the current rules. So I do not have to worry about CLP?
Well, you do. The ability to translate directly applies only to classified substances and products. Since the criteria for classification has changed, you need to assess your product for the new CLP criteria.
Do I need to notify classification and labelling for substances marketed in amounts less than one tonne per year?
Yes you do. The demand for C&L notification is independent of the tonnages.
No documentation is required. You simply state your classification and labelling. For hazard classes and –categories where your substance is not classified, you need to state whether this is due to lack of data, inconclusive data or data showing no hazard.
Another notifier has already notified the classification and labelling for the substance I intend to notify. Do I need to notify then?
Yes, unless you have agreed with the notifier that he will include your name in his notification you need to do your own notification even if it is the same substance. If you agree with the classification and labeling submitted by another notifier you have the possibility to click “I agree” instead of filling out the entire notification form.
An extended safety data sheet, (abbreviated: eSDS) is a safety data sheet containing additional information from one or more relevant exposure scenarios. The information will tell the user how the chemical should be handled to ensure safe use.
Since you are an importer of cleaning agents, you need to register the cleaning agents to the Product Registry, even if you only import for own use. However, you do not need to register the cleaning products, if they already are registered by your German supplier, or if they do not meet the requirements for product registration.
