Recital 15
(15) This Regulation should replace Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances as well as Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 1999 concerning the approximation of the law, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations . It should maintain the overall current level of protection of human health and the environment provided by those Directives. Therefore, some hazard classes which are covered by those Directives but are not yet included in the GHS, for example those related to the destruction of the ozone layer, should be maintained in this Regulation. It is also necessary to maintain in this Regulation the concept of “dangerous” as defined by those Directives, which does not include those hazard classes which are part of the GHS but are not covered by Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, to minimise effects on other pieces of Community legislation referring to that concept.
