Abstract

These Regulations amend the European Communities (Classification, Packaging, Labelling and Notification of Dangerous Substances) Regulations 2003 by requiring each manufacturer, importer or other person proposing to place any new chemical on the market for the first time to submit to the competent authority a notification dossier containing details of tests to which the substance has been subjected and the proposed classification and labelling of the substance. They also require suppliers to put warning labels on containers for dangerous substances and to ensure that the containers are properly designed, constructed and secured to prevent spillage or seepage during normal use. Safety data sheets must be supplied for dangerous substances covered by the Regulations.
