CLP article 45 and Annex VIII: Delayed deadline

The EU Commission has proposed to postpone the first deadline for submission by one year to 1 January 2021 to accommodate requests from industry and member states.

The regulations come into effect gradually, and the first deadline applies to mixtures for consumers.

In Norway, the Poison Information Center has access to the product register, and for the time being a registration in the product register also applies as a notification of information in accordance with article 45 of CLP.

CLP Article 45 in Norway

CLP Article 45 and Annex VIII is implemented in Norwegian law and applies in the same way in Norway as in other EEA-countries.

Transition period until 2025

The transition period until 2025 is described in CLP Appendix VIII (part A, section 1.4f), and will apply for mixtures registered in the Norwegian Product Register before the deadlines outlined in CLP Appendix VIII (part A, section 1.1, 1.2 1 and 1.3)

If a mixture is changed after the application of the deadlines in CLP appendix VIII, this might mean that information must be resubmitted. In such case, the information must be submitted as described in Appendix VIII.

Where to submit information?

Norway will use Echa's Poison Centres Notification Portal for submission of information to the Poison Center rather than develop a separate national system for Poison Centre Submission.

Declaration of chemicals to the Product Register in Norway

The duty to submit information to the Product Register will continue to exist in parallell with the duties imposed by CLP Article 45 and Appendix VIII. The obligation to submit information to the Norwegian Product Register is regulated by national law.
