{0>COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 19 September 1979 amending for the sixth time Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (79/831/EEC)<}81{><0}{0>THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, <}100{><0}{0>Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof, <}100{><0}{0>Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, <}100{><0}{0>Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1), <}100{><0}{0>Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2), <}100{><0}{0>Whereas to protect man and the environment against potential risks which could arise from the placing on the market of new substances, it is necessary to lay down appropriate measures and in particular to reinforce the recommendations provided in Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (3), as last amended by Directive 75/409/EEC (4); <}0{><0}{0>Whereas it is necessary for these reasons to amend Directive 67/548/EEC which at the moment by an adequate classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances protects the population and principally the workers using them; <}0{><0}{0>Whereas in order to control the effects on man and the environment it is advisable that any new substance placed on the market be subjected to a prior study by the manufacturer or importer and a notification to the competent authorities conveying mandatorily certain information; whereas it is, moreover, important to follow closely the evolution and use of new substances placed on the market, and that in order to do this it is necessary to institute a system which allows all new substances to be listed; <}0{><0}{0>Whereas, moreover, it is necessary, if the Directive is to be properly applied, to draw up an inventory of substances on the Community market by 18 September 1981; <}0{><0}{0>Whereas it is necessary to provide for measures making it possible to introduce a procedure of notification to one Member State which is then valid for the Community; whereas, it is, moreover, necessary to provide that the measures relating to the classification and labelling of substances may be laid down at Community level; <}0{><0}{0>Whereas it is necessary to introduce measures for the packaging and provisional labelling of dangerous substances not yet appearing in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC; <}0{><0}{0>Whereas it is necessary to make the indication of safety advice obligatory; <}0{><0}{0>Whereas Article 2 of the abovementioned Directive classifies substances and preparations as toxic, harmful, corrosive or irritant by the use of general definitions; whereas experience has shown that it is necessary to improve this classification; whereas in the absence, at the moment, of specifications necessary for allocation to these classes, it seems appropriate to provide precise criteria for classification; whereas in addition Article 3 of the Directive provides for an evaluation of danger for the environment and it is therefore necessary to enumerate certain characteristics and parameters of assessment, and to establish a phased study programme, <}0{><0}{0>HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:<}100{><0}{0>Article 1<}100{><0}{0>Articles 1 to 8 of Directive 67/548/EEC are hereby replaced by the following Articles:<}60{><0}{0>"Article 1

15 July 1975 relating to waste (1) and Council Directive 78/319/EEC of 20 March 1978 relating to toxic and dangerous waste (2); <}0{><0}{0>(e) substances in transit which are under customs supervision provided they do not undergo any treatment or processing.<}0{><0}{0>Articles 15, 16 and 17 do not apply to the provisions governing:<}0{><0}{0>(a) containers which contain gases compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure, excluding aerosols which comply with the requirements of Council Directive 75/324/EEC of 20 May 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to aerosol dispensers (3); <}0{><0}{0>(b) munitions and explosives placed on the market with a view to producing a practical effect by explosion or a pyrotechnic effect.<}0{><0}{0>Articles 5, 6 and 7, in

<}0{><0}{0>(b) "preparations" means mixtures or solutions composed of two or more substances; <}0{><0}{0>(c) "environment" means water, air and land and their inter-relationship as well as relationships between them and any living organisms; <}0{><0}{0>(d) "notification" means the documents whereby the manufacturer or any other person established in the Community who places a substance on its own or in a preparation on the market presents the requisite information to the competent authority of a Member State.<}0{><0}{0>The person so doing shall hereinafter be referred to as "the notifier"; <}64{><0}{0>(e) "placing on the market" means supplying or making available to third parties.<}0{><0}{0>Importation into Community customs territory shall be deemed to be placing on the market for the purposes of this Directive.<}0{><0}{0>The following substances and preparations are "dangerous" within the meaning of this Directive:<}0{><0}{0>(a) explosive:<}0{>{0>substances and preparations which may explode under the effect of flame or which are more sensitive to shocks or friction than dinitrobenzene; <}0{><0}{0>(b) oxidizing:<}0{>{0>substances and preparations which give

ecotoxicity according to those specified in Annex V (C).<}0{><0}{0>The real or potential environmental hazard shall be assessed according to the characteristics set out in Annexes VII and VIII, on the basis of any existing internationally recognized parameters.<}0{><0}{0>The general principles of the classification and labelling of substances and preparations shall be applied according to the criteria in Annex VI, save where contrary requirements for dangerous preparations are specified in separate Directives.<}0{><0}{0>Article 4<}100{><0}{0>The classification of dangerous substances according to the degree of hazard and to the specific nature of the risks involved shall be based on the categories laid down in Article 2 (2).<}0{><0}{0>For categories (a) to (j) the substances shall be classified according to the greatest degree of hazard, in accordance with Article 16 (4).<}0{><0}{0>The dangerous substances listed in Annex I shall, where appropriate, be given a rating enabling

to 18 and with the criteria in Annex VI, and in accordance with the results of the tests provided for in Article 6.<}0{><0}{0>The measures referred to in the second indent of paragraph 1 shall apply until the substance is listed in Annex I or until a decision not to list it has been taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21.<}0{><0}{0>Dangerous substances not yet appearing in Annex I but included in the list referred to in Article 13 (1) or already on the market before 18 September 1981 must, in so far as the manufacturer whether or not established in the Community may reasonably be expected to be aware of their dangerous properties, be packaged and provisionally labelled by the manufacturer or his representative in accordance with the rules laid down in Articles 15 to 18 and with the criteria in Annex VI.<}0{><0}{0>Article 6<}100{><0}{0>Without prejudice to Articles 1 (4) and 8 (1), any manufacturer or importer into the Community of a substance within the meaning of this Directive shall be required to submit to the competent authority referred to in Article 7 of the Member State in which the substance is produced or into which it is imported into the Community, at the latest 45 days before the substance is placed on the market, a notification including:<}0{><0}{0>- a technical dossier supplying the information necessary for evaluating the foreseeable risks, whether immediate or delayed, which the substance may entail for man and the environment, and containing at least the information and results of the studies referred to in Annex VII, together with a detailed and full description of the studies conducted and of the methods used or a bibliographical reference to them, <}0{><0}{0>- a declaration concerning the unfavourable effects of the substance in terms of the various uses envisaged, <}0{><0}{0>- the proposed classification and labelling of the substance in accordance with this Directive, <}0{><0}{0>- proposals for any recommended precautions relating to the safe use of the substance.<}0{><0}{0>However, in the case of a substance which has already been notified, the competent authority may agree that the notifier of that substance may, for the purposes of the technical dossier, refer to the results of the studies carried out by one or more previous notifiers, provided the latter have given their agreement in writing.<}0{><0}{0>If a substance is already listed in Annex I, the notifier need not present the declaration concerning its unfavourable effects, the proposed classification and the proposals for any recommended precautions relating to safe use.<}0{><0}{0>Furthermore, the notifier need not supply the information required for the technical dossier in Annex VII, with the exception of points 1 and 2 of that Annex, if the substance was originally notified at least 10 years previously.<}0{><0}{0>Any notifier of a substance already notified shall be required to inform the competent authority of:<}0{><0}{0>- changes in the annual or total quantities placed on the market by him in accordance with the tonnage range laid down in Annex VII, point 2.2.1, <}0{><0}{0>- new knowledge of the effects of the substance on man and/or the environment of which he may reasonably be expected to have become aware, <}0{><0}{0>- new uses for which the substance is placed on the market (within the meaning of Annex VII, point 2.1.2) of which he may reasonably be expected to have become aware, <}0{><0}{0>- any change in the properties resulting from a modification of the substance referred to in Annex VII, point 1.3.<}0{><0}{0>The notifier shall also be required to inform the competent authority of the results of the studies carried out in accordance with Annex VIII.<}0{><0}{0>Article 7<}100{><0}{0>Member States shall appoint the competent authority or authorities responsible for receiving the information provided for in Article 6 and examining its conformity with the requirements of the Directive, and in particular:<}0{><0}{0>- the notifier's proposed findings on any foreseeable risks which the substance may entail, <}0{><0}{0>- classification and labelling, <}0{><0}{0>- the proposals for any recommended precautions relating to safe use submitted by the notifier.<}80{><0}{0>Moreover, if it can be shown to be necessary for the evaluation of the hazard which may be caused by a substance, the competent authorities may:<}0{><0}{0>- ask for further information and/or verification tests concerning the substances of which they have been notified; this may also include requesting the information referred to in Annex VIII earlier than provided for therein, <}0{><0}{0>- carry out such sampling as is necessary for control purposes, <}0{><0}{0>- take appropriate measures relating to safe use of a substance pending the introduction of Community provisions.<}0{><0}{0>The procedure laid down in Article 21 shall be followed in confirming or amending proposals for:<}0{><0}{0>- classification, <}0{><0}{0>- labelling, and <}77{><0}{0>- the recommended precautionary measures provided for in Annex VII, points 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5.<}0{><0}{0>Member States and the Commission shall ensure that any information concerning commercial exploitation or manufacturing is kept secret.<}0{><0}{0>Article 8<}100{><0}{0>The substances listed below, shall be considered as having been notified within the meaning of this Directive when the following conditions are fulfilled:<}0{><0}{0>- polymerizates, polycondensates and polyadducts except those containing in combined form 2 % or more of any monomer unmarketed before 18 September 1981, <}0{><0}{0>- substances for research and analysis purposes, in so far as they are placed on the market for the purpose of determining their properties in accordance with this Directive; <}0{><0}{0>- substances placed on the market for research or analysis purposes in quantities of less than one tonne per year per manufacturer or importer and intended solely for laboratories, <}0{><0}{0>- substances placed on the market in quantities of less than one tonne per year per manufacturer provided that the manufacturer announces their identity, labelling data and quantity to the competent authorities of the Member States where the substances are placed on the market and complies with any conditions imposed by those authorities.<}0{><0}{0>However, substances placed on the market at the research and development stage with a limited number of registered customers, in quantities which are limited to the purpose of the research and development but which amount to more than one tonne per year per manufacturer, shall qualify for exemption for a period of one year, provided that the manufacturer announces their identity, labelling data and quantity to the competent authorities of each Member State where the manufacture, research or development takes place and complies with any conditions imposed by those authorities on such research and development; after this period, these substances shall be subject to notification.<}0{><0}{0>The manufacturer shall also give an assurance that the substance or the preparation in which it is incorporated will be handled by customers' staff only, under controlled conditions, and will not be made available to the public.<}0{><0}{0>The substances referred to in paragraph 1 must, in so far as the manufacturer may reasonably be expected to be aware of their dangerous properties, be packaged and provisionally labelled by the manufacturer or his representative in accordance with the rules laid down in Articles 15 to 18 and with the criteria imposed in Annex VI.<}0{><0}{0>If labelling in accordance with the principles set out in Article 16 is not yet possible, the label should bear the warning:<}0{><0}{0>"Caution - substance not yet fully tested".<}0{><0}{0>Where a substance as referred to in paragraph 1, labelled in accordance with the principles set out in Article 16, is very toxic or toxic, the manufacturer or importer of such a substance must transmit to the competent authority any appropriate information as regards Annex VII, points 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5.<}0{><0}{0>Article 9<}100{><0}{0>When a Member State has received the notification dossier or additional information referred to in Article 6 it shall forthwith send to the Commission a copy of the dossier or a summary thereof together with any relevant comments; in the case of the further information referred to in Article 7 (1) and the additional information or studies provided for in Annex VIII, the competent authority shall notify the Commission of the tests chosen, the reasons for their choice, and the assessment of their results.<}0{><0}{0>Article 10<}100{><0}{0>On receipt of the copy of the notification dossier, the summary thereof or the additional information sent by a Member State, the Commission shall forward:<}0{><0}{0>- the notification dossier or the summary thereof to the other Member States, <}0{><0}{0>- any other relevant information it has collected pursuant to this Directive to all Member States.<}0{><0}{0>The competent authority of any Member State may consult direct the competent authority which received the original notification, or the Commission, on specific details of the data contained in the dossier required under this Directive; it may also suggest that further tests or information be requested.<}0{><0}{0>If the competent authority which received the original notification fails to comply with the suggestions of other authorities regarding further information or amendments in the study programmes provided for in Annex VIII, it shall give its reasons to the other authorities concerned.<}0{><0}{0>Should it not be possible for the authorities concerned to reach agreement and should any one authority feel, on the basis of detailed reasons, that additional information or amendments in the study programmes are nevertheless really necessary to protect man and the environment, it may ask the Commission to take a decision in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21.<}0{><0}{0>Article 11<}100{><0}{0>If he considers that there is a confidentiality problem, the notifier may indicate the information provided for in Article 6 which he considers to be commercially sensitive and disclosure of which might harm him industrially or commercially, and which he therefore wishes to be kept secret from all persons other than the competent authorities and the Commission.<}0{><0}{0>Full justification must be given in such cases.<}0{>Ġ<0}{0>Industrial and commercial secrecy shall not apply to:<}0{><0}{0>- the trade name of the substance, <}76{><0}{0>- physico-chemical data concerning the substance in connection with Annex VII, point 3, <}0{><0}{0>- the possible ways of rendering the substance harmless, <}0{><0}{0>- the interpretation of the toxicological and ecotoxicological tests and the name of the body responsible for the tests, <}0{><0}{0>- the recommended methods and precautions referred to in Annex VII, point 2.3 and the emergency measures referred to in Annex VII, points 2.4 and 2.5.<}0{><0}{0>If the notifier himself subsequently discloses previously confidential information, he shall be required to inform the competent authority accordingly.<}0{><0}{0>The authority receiving the notification shall decide on its own responsibility which information is covered by industrial and commercial secrecy in accordance with paragraph 1.<}0{><0}{0>The name of a substance appearing in the list provided for in Article 13 (2) may be included in encoded form where the competent authority to which the notification has been submitted so requests because of the confidentiality problems to which publication of the name of the substance would give rise, provided that the substance is not classified as dangerous.<}0{><0}{0>A substance may be included in the list in encoded form for no longer than three years.<}0{><0}{0>Confidential information brought to the attention either of the Commission or of a Member State shall be kept secret.<}0{><0}{0>In all cases such information - may be brought to the attention only of the authorities whose responsibilities are specified in Article 7 (1), <}0{><0}{0>- may, however, when administrative or legal proceedings involving sanctions are undertaken for the purpose of controlling substances placed on the market, be divulged to persons directly involved in such proceedings.<}0{><0}{0>This Article and Article 12 shall not oblige a Member State whose legislation or administrative practices impose stricter limits for the protection of industrial and commercial secrecy than those laid down in these Articles to supply information, where the State concerned does not take steps to comply with these stricter limits.<}0{><0}{0>Article 12<}100{><0}{0>The data supplied in accordance with Articles 9 and 10 (1) may be forwarded to the Commission and the Member States in summary form.<}0{>Id-I<0}{0>In such cases and in the context of Article 10 (2), the competent authorities of a Member State and the Commission shall have access to the notification dossier and the additional information at all times.<}0{><0}{0>Article 13<}100{><0}{0>The Commission shall, on the basis in particular of information provided by the Member States, draw up an inventory of substances on the Community market by 18 September 1981.<}0{><0}{0>In so doing it shall have regard to Articles 1 (4) and 8.<}0{><0}{0>The inventory shall give the chemical name under an internationally recognized chemical nomenclature (preferably IUPAC), the CAS number and the common name or ISO abbreviation, if any.<}0{><0}{0>The Commission shall keep a list of all substances notified under this Directive.<}0{><0}{0>The information and the form in which it is recorded in the list and the inventory, together with the criteria covering the provision to the Commission by the Member States of information relating to the inventory, shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21.<}0{><0}{0>Article 14<}100{><0}{0>Annex I contains the list of substances classified in accordance with Article 4 and any recommendations relating to safe use.<}0{><0}{0>Article 15<}100{><0}{0>Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that dangerous substances cannot be placed on the market unless their packaging satisfies the following requirements:<}0{><0}{0>(a) it shall be so designed and constructed that its contents cannot escape; this requirement shall not apply where special safety devices are prescribed; <}0{><0}{0>(b) the materials constituting the packaging and fastenings must not be susceptible to adverse attack by the contents, or liable to form harmful or dangerous compounds with the contents; <}0{><0}{0>(c) packaging and fastenings must be strong and solid throughout to ensure that they will not loosen and will safely meet the normal stresses and strains of handling; <}0{><0}{0>(d) containers fitted with replaceable fastening devices shall be so designed that the packaging can be repeatedly refastened without the contents escaping.<}0{><0}{0>The Member States may also prescribe that:<}0{><0}{0>-
