Consultations
Two new CLH consultations launched
ECHA has started a 45-day public commenting period on the harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) proposal for thiacloprid and tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Both substances do not have a harmonised classification. Thiacloprid is used as an insecticide in plant protection and biocidal products and the CLH report, submitted by the UK, proposes classification for acute toxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity and the environmental hazards. Tert-butyl hydroperoxide is primarily used in the chemical industry as a starting material (or intermediate) and as a reactive ingredient (catalyst, initiator or curing agent). The dossier submitter, the Netherlands, is proposing classification for germ cell mutagenicity. The deadline for submitting comments on the two substances is 21 March 2014. The website pages and the commenting webform have been updated to provide more information and instructions on hazard class related comments.
