Corrigendum to the CLP statistics
Press Release
ECHA/PR/11/02
Media enquiries: ECHA Press
The 3.1 million Classification and Labelling notifications received by ECHA cover a total of 107,067 substances and not 24,529 as published on 4 January.
Helsinki, 18 January 2011 - The change in number is because a small number of bulk files were incorrectly counted as single substances, while in fact they contained notifications for many distinct substances. The discrepancy was identified during the initial analysis of the submitted Classification and Labelling notifications.
The receipt of Classification and Labelling notifications under the CLP Regulation is an ongoing process. Manufacturers and importers placing on the market a hazardous substance on its own or in a mixture, or a substance subject to REACH registration, shall notify its Classification and Labelling within one month to ECHA. Therefore, the number of notified substances and notifications received will continue to increase and will be updated regularly.
