Jan. 21 EU: ECHA Corrects CLP Notification Numbers

From: Environmental Leader

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has corrected the number of notifications it received for substances under the CLP Regulation.

The actual number of substances that ECHA received notification of is 107,067, instead of the previously announced number of 24,529, chemist Kal Kawar reports.  The deadline for CLP notifications was January 3, 2011…The discrepancy was due to some bulk files being counted as single substances.

For the January 3 deadline under the CLP Regulation, the most CLP notifications came from:

* Germany: over 800,000
* United Kingdom: over 500,000
* France: nearly 300,000
