ON THE WEB Practical Guide for the notification of substances to the Classification and Labelling Inventory is now available in 22 official EU languages Following the publication of the revised English version of the Practical Guide on how to notify substances to the Classification and Labelling Inventory in June this year, ECHA has now updated and published 22 official EU language versions of the document on its website. ECHA would also like to remind potential notifiers that the notification to the C&L Inventory is an ongoing obligation of the CLP Regulation. If you are a notifier please consider to submit your notification within one month of placing your substance(s) on the EU market. Practical Guide for the notification of substances to the Classification and Labelling Inventory > ECHA has identified a need to refine its methodology for calculating "total tonnage" bands 25 July 2012 The rules that ECHA decided to use in order to determine the total tonnage manufactured or imported for each chemical substance were explained in the News Alert published on April 18 2012. This "total tonnage band" is published together with other substance-specific information on ECHA's website. When working on the practical implementation of the announced rules, ECHA identified some shortcomings caused by the fact that the REACH Regulation is based on the concept of legal entities rather than companies, which in some situations could lead to involuntary disclosure of confidential business information. ECHA thus decided to modify the envisaged methodology on how to calculate aggregated tonnages, omitting the four registrants rule before publication of any tonnage band data on the ECHA website. This rule foresaw that tonnage data that has been claimed confidential by a registrant would still be included in the calculation of aggregated tonnages if there are four or more registrants in a joint submission. The modified rules are explained in a corrigendum to the initial News Alert. The publication of tonnage bands on ECHA's dissemination portal that took place for the first time in June, already took the modifications in the calculation method into account.
