Public consultations now open on CLH proposals for three active substances in plant protection products and lead

ECHA is seeking comments for carvone, metaldehyde and dimethenamid-P.

25-Oct-2012 - Finland

The 45-day public consultation will end on 7 December. The relevant information can be found in the CLH dossiers providing the identity of the substance and the proposed classification, a scientific justification and the reason why an action is needed at EU level. Comments can be submitted by posting a webform on the ECHA website.

ECHA's Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) will consider the comments received during the public consultation when developing its opinion on the CLH proposal. The Commission takes into account the RAC opinion when it decides whether the proposal for harmonised classification and labelling is accepted and if so, the substance is added to the list of hazardous substances for which harmonised classification and labelling has been established (Annex VI, part 3 of the CLP Regulation).

Parties concerned are invited to register for the public consultation even if they do not intend to provide comments on the CLH proposal that is open. On a case-by-case basis, ECHA may request those who have registered to provide more information and/or participate in additional targeted consultations that may occur after the public consultation.
