New CLH consultation for a pesticide

ECHA has started a 45-day public consultation on harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) proposals for the pesticide bendiocarb. This substance already has a harmonised classification for acute toxicity and environmental hazards. The dossier submitter (United Kingdom) proposes to update the current classification for acute toxicity and include M-factors to the classification for environmental hazards. Bendiocarb is used to control insects, mites and spiders.

The consultation is open until 15 September 2014.

Urgent reminder for PIC exporters

PIC exporters need to take action now, to make sure that their data (export notifications, special Reference Identification Number (RIN) requests and details on mixtures and articles) is migrated from EDEXIM to the new submission system, ePIC. The "ownership" of the data must be digitally assigned to each company using a unique identifier that is recognised by both systems. This Legal Entity Universal Unique Identifier (LE UUID) can be obtained from REACH-IT. Please log into EDEXIM, where you will find detailed instructions, and provide your LE UUID no later than 22 August 2014. If the deadline is missed, the data cannot be migrated.

EDEXIM

EDEXIM closure

Please note that EDEXIM will be closed at end of business on 22 August 2014 and no new submissions will be possible until ePIC goes live on 2 September. If you plan any exports for the end of September or the beginning of October please submit your notifications well in time for your member state to process them and send them to ECHA by 22 August. Once EDEXIM closes, companies will only have access to consult its contents - no amendments or additions will be able be made.
