The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has launched a public consultation on a proposal for the revision of the harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) on bisphenol A (BPA). The public consultation will end on 11 October 2013.
A proposal has been submitted by France to amend the current CLH of BPA from reproductive toxicity category 2 (hazard statement code H361f) to reproductive toxicity Category 1B (hazard statement code H360F). The CLH proposal is focused on the adverse effects on sexual function and fertility.
ECHA has emphasized that the public consultation is targeted at the adverse effects on sexual function and fertility only, not on developmental toxicity or other hazard classes than reproductive toxicity.
All parties can post comments via a dedicated webform on ECHA’s website and view the CLH report. The comments received during the public consultation will be regularly published on the ECHA website during the 45-day consultation phase.
If you would like to keep track of changes to CLH, why not sign up now for a 30-day free trial of C2P, our compliance knowledge management platform?
