First adaptation to technical progress

The CLP Regulation has been adapted to technical progress in 2009 for the first time: through the 1st Adaptation to Technical Progress (1st ATP) substances included in the 30th and 31st ATPs to Council Directive 67/548/EEC are included in Annex VI to CLP.

Second adaptation to technical progress

The 2nd Adaptation to Technical Progress (2nd ATP) to the CLP Regulation is laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) No 286/2011 which entered into force on 19 April 2011. It includes various scientific-technical changes to the Annexes to the CLP Regulation. Many of them are based on the 3rd revision of the UN GHS. The changes relate, inter alia, to the labelling provisions, new sub-categories for respiratory and skin sensitisation, the revision of the classification criteria for long-term hazards (chronic toxicity) to the aquatic environment and the hazard class for substances and mixtures hazardous to the ozone layer.
