The European Commission (EC) adopted the Commission delegated regulation (EU) 2023/707 which adds hazard classes from REACH to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures on 31st March. This legislative action will be efective from 20th April 2023 and will apply from 1st May 2025 and introduces hazard classes for the following properties: persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT); very persistent, very bioaccumulative (vPvB); persistent, mobile, and toxic (PMT); and very persistent, very mobile (vPvM). Besides these, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) will be split into two categories for both human health and the environment: (1) Known or presumed endocrine disruptors and (2) suspected endocrine disruptors.
