The planned revision of regulations on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation) and the inclusion of new hazard classes is feared by the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI) to have a serious impact on existing chemicals legislation. The new hazard classes decouple the EU from the UN standards. It is also assumed that the inclusion of new classes will lead to automatic substance bans and restrictions on the use of chemical substances. As a result, many existing chemicals could disappear from the market and be missing, among other things, for products that are important for compliance with the European Green Deal. Therefore, it is demanded that the EU should not rush the revision but take sufficient time for workable solutions along the entire supply chain.
