Chemicals: Commission launches public consultation on revision of central piece of chemicals legislation
The European Commission has today launched a public consultation on the revision of the Regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures (“CLP Regulation”). This revision is one of the 85 actions planned in the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, adopted by the Commission in October 2020 as the first step towards the zero pollution ambition. Citizens and organisations are invited to share their views until 15 November 2021.
The CLP Regulation is the core piece of legislation used in the EU to identify and communicate the hazardous properties of chemicals. It stems from the United Nations’ global standard (GHS) and enacts this standard into EU law. It sets out how to classify chemicals which are hazardous (e.g. as carcinogenic or hazardous to the aquatic environment) and how to communicate those hazards across supply chains and to consumers and workers. For this revision, the Commission will examine, among others, different measures and options to introduce new hazard classes (such as endocrine disruption as well as persistency, bioaccumulation and toxicity) and corresponding classification criteria.
As one of the objectives of the European Green Deal and the Chemicals Strategy, this revision will help to achieve a legitimate higher level of protection of citizens and of the environment against hazardous chemicals. It is also an opportunity to foster substitution of hazardous chemicals by safer ones and to promote EU industry as a global frontrunner in the production and use of safe and sustainable chemicals.
The Commission is currently undertaking an impact assessment to decide on the most appropriate way forward and has launched a public consultation as part of this exercise. The consultation seeks to gather the views of citizens, institutions and organisations from the public and private sectors on how to best revise the CLP Regulation taking into account scientific and technical progress. This questionnaire consists of two sections: one with more general questions, and the other with more expert questions.

化学品:委员会就修订化学品核心法规展开公众谘询

欧洲委员会今日就修订有关化学物质和混合物分类、标签和包装的规例(“CLP规例”)展开公众谘询。该修订是可持续化学品战略计划的85项行动之一，该战略于2020年10月被委员会通过，作为实现零污染目标的第一步。邀请公民和组织在2021年11月15日前分享他们的观点。
CLP法规是欧盟用于识别和通报化学品危险特性的核心法规。它源于联合国的全球标准(GHS)，并将该标准制定为欧盟法律。它规定了如何对危险化学品(如对水生环境有致癌或危险的化学品)进行分类，以及如何在供应链中向消费者和工人通报这些危险。在这次修订中，除其他外，委员会将审查引入新的危险类别(如内分泌干扰以及持久性、生物积累和毒性)和相应的分类标准的不同措施和选择。
作为《欧洲绿色协议》和《化学品战略》的目标之一，这一修订将有助于实现对公民和环境的合法更高水平的保护，使其免受危险化学品的危害。这也是一个促进用更安全的化学品替代危险化学品的机会，并促进欧盟工业成为安全和可持续化学品生产和使用的全球领跑者。
委员会目前正在进行影响评估，以决定最适当的前进方向，并已展开公众谘询，作为这项工作的一部分。谘询旨在收集市民、公营及私营机构及组织的意见，探讨如何在科技进步的情况下，以最佳方式修订《中华电力条例》。这个问卷包括两个部分:一个是更多的一般性问题，另一个是更多的专家问题。
