REACH Annex II amended
The European Commission has published a regulation amending Annex II to REACH, which lays down the requirements for compiling safety data sheets, used to provide information on chemical substances and mixtures in the EU.
The changes align the annex with the sixth and seventh revisions of the United Nations' Globally Harmonised System. Most of the physicochemical properties section has been rewritten and information on the unique formula identifier, nanomaterials, and on endocrine-disrupting properties is now included. Requirements regarding specific concentration limits, multiplication factors, and acute toxicity estimates are also now specified.
