EU Commission Publishes Annex VIII to CLP

by Ancuta Rusu, PhDThe European Commission has published the much-awaited Annex VIII of the CLP, harmonizing the information required to be submitted to Member States’ official advisory bodies. The Unique Formula Identifier (UFI), which we blogged about last April, and regulatory deadlines identified in the draft are part of the regulation as finalized.The format for the submission of the information will be in XML format maintained by ECHA and available free of charge. The European Product Categorization System, which will be part of the submission, must be developed by ECHA. Its purpose is to facilitate the transmission of information on the intended use of a mixture and to support a statistical analysis of related poisoning cases.Please keep an eye out for a webinar – coming soon!Reference: COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2017/542 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32017R0542&from=EN&utm
