Entry into force notes
The provisions of this Decree shall enter into force for (a) preparations not within the scope of Council Directive 91/414/EEC on the placing of plant protection products on the market, or Council Directive 98/8/EC on the placing of biocidal products on the market, as from 30 July 2002; (b) preparations within the scope of Directive 91/414/EEC or Directive 98/8/EC, as from 30 July 2004.
Abstract

The present Decree gives effect to Commission Directive 2001/58/EC which amends for the second time Directive 91/155/EEC defining and laying down the detailed arrangements for the system of specific information relating to dangerous preparations in implementation of article 14 of European Parliament and Council Directive 1999/45/EC and relating to dangerous substances in implementation of article 27 of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (safety data sheets). According to article 14 of Directive 1999/45/EC a requirement is introduced for persons responsible for placing preparations on the market to provide on the request a safety data sheet containing relative information. It is known from recent enforcement activities and studies that many safety data sheets are of poor quality and do not provide adequate information for the user. A way of improving the quality of safety data sheets is to improve the guidance given to compilers of safety data sheets. Under this light, article 1(paragraph 1) and the Annex mentioned in article 5 of Ministerial Decree No. 508/91 are amended as set out in the text and Annex to this Decree.
