THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006^note, and in particular Article 45(4) thereof,Whereas:

(1)Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 was amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/542^note to add certain requirements for the submission of information relating to emergency health response and for the inclusion of a ‘unique formula identifier’ in the supplemental information provided on the label of a hazardous mixture. The requirements were amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/11^note. Importers and downstream users are required to start complying with the requirements in stages, according to a series of compliance dates depending on the use for which a mixture is placed on the market

(2)Concerns have been raised by various industry sectors regarding the workability of the emergency health response information requirements in certain cases, notably with regard to the difficulty of knowing the exact composition of mixtures in cases where raw materials with a highly variable or unknown composition are used in the manufacture of the mixture, in cases where toxicologically very similar components supplied by multiple, different suppliers are used together in the same production line, or in cases involving complex supply chains. Concerns have also been raised, in the case of bespoke mixtures, about the impossibility of knowing in advance which exact bespoke mixtures are to be placed on the market.

(3)It is necessary to address the situation where different but toxicologically very similar components are used in a mixture, and where it is unknown which component is present in a particular mixture placed on the market at a given time. To ensure that the emergency health response requirements can be complied with properly in practice, importers and downstream users should be allowed to group toxicologically similar components of a mixture together in an interchangeable component group and provide information on the total concentration of those components present in the mixture, without having to specify their separate concentrations. In order to allow poison centres to formulate a suitable emergency health response, components should only be grouped in an interchangeable component group if their classification for health and physical effects is identical and if the hazards identification and the additional hazard information are identical for all possible combinations of the resulting final mixture incorporating those components. For components classified for certain hazard classes, it should also be necessary for them to have the same technical function and the same toxicological properties in order to be grouped.

(4)In order to address particular difficulties encountered by the gypsum, ready-mixed concrete and cement sectors and to allow them to comply with the emergency health response requirements without reducing the level of safety, it should be possible for emergency health response information relating to certain standardised mixtures within those three sectors to be submitted by reference to a standard composition. However, in order to allow poison centres to formulate a suitable emergency health response, this option should only be available in cases where the mixture classification does not change according to the mixture’s composition within the concentration ranges specified in the standard formula, and where the information on composition is at least as detailed as the information contained in the mixture’s safety data sheet, drawn up in accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘safety data sheet’)^note. In the event that the information contained in the safety data sheet is more detailed than the information on the composition in the standard formula, importers and downstream users should be required to notify the information in the safety data sheet instead.

(5)In order to address particular difficulties anticipated for certain fuels, and taking into account the facts that fuels placed on the market normally conform to a technical standard and that poison centres have communicated a low number of poisoning incidents with fuels, it should be possible, until a more suitable solution is found, to submit emergency health response information by reference to the information contained in the safety data sheet, as well as any other known information on the products’ chemical composition.

(6)In order to satisfy customer demand for very specific paint shades, formulators are sometimes asked to formulate and supply paints on a bespoke basis at the point of sale. These bespoke paints could have an almost unlimited number of different compositions. Therefore, without any mitigating measures, compliance with the emergency health response requirements in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 would require formulators of bespoke paints either to submit information and create unique formula identifiers (UFIs) in advance for an extremely large number of paints of all possible colour combinations, many of which might never be supplied in reality, or to postpone each supply until the information had been submitted and the UFI had been created. Either approach would place a disproportionate burden on the bespoke paints industry, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises, without improving the level of safety significantly.

(7)Poison centres have not communicated a significant number of accidents related to paints. In light of the apparently lower risks compared to other mixtures, it is justified to allow a more flexible approach, as this would not be reducing the current level of safety.

(8)It is therefore appropriate to provide for the possibility to exempt bespoke paints from the notification obligations in Annex VIII and from the requirement to create a UFI. However, in that case, in order to allow poison centres to formulate a suitable emergency health response, the individual mixtures contained in bespoke paints should remain subject to all the requirements of that Annex. Alongside this Regulation, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1676^note amends Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 to add a new rule, in the case of bespoke paints for which no submission in accordance with Annex VIII has been made and no corresponding UFI has been created, requiring the UFIs of all the individual mixtures contained in the bespoke paint to be indicated on the label of the bespoke paint, together with the specific concentration of each such mixture with a UFI that is present in a concentration exceeding 5 %.

(9)Given the number of changes to Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, it is appropriate to replace the whole Annex for the sake of legal clarity.

(10)Considering that the compliance date for mixtures for consumer and professional use of 1 January 2021 laid down in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is approaching, and that this Regulation enables all sectors to comply with that Annex, this Regulation should enter into force as early as possible.

(11)Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 #

Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2 #

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(5)“bespoke paint” means a paint that is formulated in limited amounts on a tailor-made basis for an individual consumer or professional user at the point of sale by tinting or colour mixing.Where mixtures have more than one use, the requirements for all relevant categories of use shall be met.

3. Submission requirements

3.1.Before placing mixtures on the market, submitters shall provide information relating to mixtures classified as hazardous on the basis of their health or physical effects to the bodies appointed under Article 45(1) (“appointed bodies”), in the Member State or Member States where the mixture is placed on the market.The submission shall contain the information laid down in Part B. It shall be submitted by electronic means in an XML format provided by the Agency and made available free of charge.

3.2.Where following receipt of a submission under Section 3.1 an appointed body makes a reasoned request to the submitter that additional information or clarification is necessary for that appointed body to carry out the tasks for which it is responsible under Article 45, the submitter shall provide the necessary information or clarification requested without undue delay.
