(1) In order to keep pace with globalisation, technological development and new means of sale, such as online sales, it is necessary to adapt Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. While under that Regulation it is assumed that all responsible actors in the supply chain are established in the Union, practical experience has shown that economic operators established outside the Union sell chemicals online directly to the general public in the Union. Hence, enforcement authorities are unable to enforce Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 against economic operators not established in the Union. It is therefore appropriate to require that there is a supplier established in the Union, which ensures that the substance or the mixture in question meets the requirements set out in that Regulation when it is being placed on the market, including via distance sales. This provision, together with requirements in Regulation (EU) No xxx/xxx [reference to adopted act to be inserted] on General Product Safety, Regulation (EU) No 2022/2065, and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 would improve compliance with and enforcement of the Regulation (EC) No 12727/2008 and thereby ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment. In order to prevent situations where consumer becomes de jure and de facto an importer when buying the substance or the mixture via distance sales from the economic operators established outside the Union, it is necessary to specify that the supplier which ensures that the substance or the mixture in question meets the requirements set out in that Regulation acts in course of an industrial or professional activity.

(2) From a toxicological point of view, substances withcontaining more than one constituent (‘multi-constituent substances’) are no different from mixtures composed of two or more substances. In accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council39, aimed to limit animal testing, data on multi- constituent substances is to be generated under the same conditions as data on any other substance, while data on individual constituents of a substance is normally not to be generated, except where individual constituents are also substances registered on their own. Where data on individual constituents is available, multi-substances containing more than one constituentsubstances should be evaluated and classified following the same classification rules as mixtures, unless Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 provides for a specific provision for those multi-constituentsubstances. substances. Specific provisions could be provided into Annex I on the basis of adequate and reliable scientific argumentation. Such derogations would be needed for cases where using data on constituents and calculation rules would result in a less appropriate classification of a substance with more than one constituent than by using data on the substance itself. This could be the case for example when a substance with more than one constituent contains constituents interacting with each other. Such interactions could have an impact on the hazard of the whole substance, notably when antagonistic effects occur. The scientific criteria to derogate to the mixture rule should be established by the Risk Assessment Committee. This committee should also be consulted for specific cases where appropriate. _________________ 39 Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

(3) It is normally not possible to sufficiently assess the endocrine disrupting properties for human health and the environment and the persistent, bioaccumulative and mobile properties of a mixture or of a multi-substance containing more than one constituent substance on the basis of data on that mixture or substance. The data for the individual substances of the mixture or for the individual constituents of the multi- constituent substance should therefore normally be used as the basis for hazard identification of those multi-constituent substances or mixtures. However, in certain cases, data on those multi-substances containing more than one constituent substances themselves may also be relevant. This is the case in particular where that data demonstrates endocrine disrupting properties for human health and the environment, as well as persistent, bioaccumulative and mobile properties, or where it supports data on the individual constituents. Therefore, it is appropriate that data on multi-constituent substancessubstances containing more than one constituent are used in those cases.

(10) To increase enforceability of the obligation placed on suppliers to update their labels after a change in the classification and labelling of their substance or mixture, a deadline should be laid down as regards that obligation. A similar obligation placed on registrants is set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/143540. Where the new hazard class is additional to an existing hazard class or represents a more severe hazard class or category, or where new supplemental labelling elements are required under Article 25, the deadline to update the labelling information in the case of adaptation of the classification in accordance with the result of a new evaluation should be set at 63months from the day on which the results of a new evaluation on the classification of that substance or that mixture were obtained. In case where a classification is updated to a less severe hazard class or category without triggering classification in an additional hazard class or new supplemental labelling requirements, the deadline for updating the labels should remain at 18 months from the day on which the results of a new evaluation on the classification of that substance or that mixture were obtained. It should also be clarified that, in cases of harmonised classification and labelling, the deadlines to update the labelling information should be set at the date of application of the provisions setting out the new or amended classification and labelling of the substance concerned, which is usually 18 months from the date of entry into force of those provisions. The same applies in case of changes triggered by other delegated acts adopted in light of the adaptation to technical and scientific progress, for instance as a result of the implementation of new or amended provisions of the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). _________________ 40 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1435 of 9 October 2020 on the duties placed on registrants to update their registrations under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) (OJ L 331, 12.10.2020, p.24.)

(18) Harmonised classification and labelling proposals need not necessarily be limited to individual substances and could cover a group of similar substances, where such similarity allows for similar classification of all substances in the group. The purpose of such grouping is to alleviate the burden on manufacturers, importers or downstream users, the Agency and the Commission in the procedure for harmonisation of classification and labelling of substances. It also avoids testing of substances when similar substances can be classified as a group. Where it is scientifically justified and possible, proposals for classification should prioritise groups of substances rather than individual substances.

(19) To increase transparency and predictability of the proposals submitted to the Agency, the Member States’ competent authorities, manufacturers, importers or downstream users should be required to notify the Agency of their intention to submit a proposal for harmonised classification and labelling, while the Commission should be required to notify the Agency of its request to the Agency or to the Authority to prepare such proposal. Furthermore, the Agency should be required to publish information on such intention or request and update the information regarding the submitted proposal at each stage of the procedure for the harmonised classification and labelling of substances. For the same reason, a competent authority that receives a proposal for revision of a harmonised classification and labelling submitted by a manufacturer, importer or downstream user should be required to communicate its decision to accept or refuse the proposal for revision to the Agency, which should share that information with the other competent authorities. receives a proposal for revision of a harmonised classification and labelling submitted by a manufacturer, importer or downstream user should be required to communicate its decision to accept or refuse the proposal for revision to the Agency, which should share that information with the other competent authorities. Moreover, to increase the efficiency of the harmonised classification and labelling process, a 6 months deadline should be fixed for the Commission to amend Annex VI after the adoption of an opinion on any proposals submitted to the Agency.

(24) Manufacturers and importers often notify different information for the same substance to be included in the Agency’s inventory for classification and labelling. In some cases, such divergences result from different impurities, physical states or other differentiations and may be justified. In other cases, the divergences are due to differences in data used for classification, or to disagreement between notifiers or registrants in the case of joint submission of data in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, or to obsolete classification entries. As a result, the classification and labelling inventory contains divergent classifications, which makes the inventory less effective as a hazard collection and communication tool and leads to incorrect classifications, ultimately hindering the ability of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 to protect human health and the environment. Therefore, the notifiers should be required to provide reasons for divergence from the most severe classification or for introducing a more severe classification per hazard class for the same substance to the Agency. To address divergences between more recent and obsolete classifications, notifiers should be required to update their notifications within 6 months after a decision to change the classification and labelling of a substance has been taken pursuant to a review in Article 15(1) of that Regulation. Moreover, the Agency should be able to remove incomplete, incorrect or obsolete notifications from the inventory after having informed the notifier.

Recital 29
(29) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 regulates advertisement of hazardous substances and mixtures in a general manner and provides that an advertisement for a substance classified as hazardous is to mention the hazard classes or hazard categories concerned, and an advertisement for a mixture classified as hazardous or a mixture containing a classified substance is to mention the types of hazards indicated on the label where such advertisement allows concluding a contract for purchase without first having sight of the label. This obligation should be changed to ensure that the advertisement of hazardous substances and mixtures contains all the information which is most important in terms of safety and protection of human health and the environment. Therefore, the advertisement should contain the hazard pictogram, the signal word, the hazard class and the hazard statements. The hazard category should not be provided, as it is reflected by the hazard statement.
