substance <strong>on</strong> its own or in a mixture after 1 June 2007.<br />

6.2 Classificati<strong>on</strong> and Labelling notificati<strong>on</strong><br />
If the substance is subject to registrati<strong>on</strong>, but has not yet been registered, or if the substance<br />
is within the scope of the CLP Regulati<strong>on</strong>, meets the criteria for classificati<strong>on</strong> as hazardous and<br />
is placed <strong>on</strong> the market either <strong>on</strong> its own or c<strong>on</strong>tained in a hazardous mixture above specified<br />
c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> limits, the registrant must notify to <strong>ECHA</strong> the informati<strong>on</strong> related to its<br />
classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling.<br />
This has to be d<strong>on</strong>e within <strong>on</strong>e m<strong>on</strong>th after placing the substance <strong>on</strong> the market or within <strong>on</strong>e<br />
m<strong>on</strong>th after 1 December 2010 for substances already <strong>on</strong> the market at that date.<br />
For substances registered before 1 December 2010 the classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling will be<br />
reported in the registrati<strong>on</strong> dossier and no separate notificati<strong>on</strong> is required. Note that the<br />
obligati<strong>on</strong> to classify and label a substance according to the CLP Regulati<strong>on</strong> applies from 1<br />
December 2010. This means that in cases where a registrati<strong>on</strong> was submitted earlier than 1<br />
December 2010 the registrati<strong>on</strong> dossier may c<strong>on</strong>tain <strong>on</strong>ly the classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling<br />
informati<strong>on</strong> according to Directive 67/548/EEC. In this case the registrant needs to update his<br />
registrati<strong>on</strong> dossier without undue delay by including the new classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling<br />
according to the CLP Regulati<strong>on</strong>. Further informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> how to update a registrati<strong>on</strong> dossier is<br />
provided in secti<strong>on</strong> 7.<br />
The classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling notificati<strong>on</strong> can be prepared using any of the following tools:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
IUCLID 5: a classificati<strong>on</strong> and notificati<strong>on</strong> dossier can be created in IUCLID, in a similar<br />
way to a registrati<strong>on</strong> dossier. This is the <strong>on</strong>ly opti<strong>on</strong> if c<strong>on</strong>fidentiality of the IUPAC name<br />
of the substance is to be claimed.<br />
Bulk: this opti<strong>on</strong> allows the notifier to submit notificati<strong>on</strong>s for several substances<br />
defined by their EC or CAS number in a single file.<br />
Online: the informati<strong>on</strong> can be entered manually in REACH-IT. This can be the preferred<br />
opti<strong>on</strong> if <strong>on</strong>ly a few substances are to be notified and the notifier is not currently using<br />
IUCLID 5.<br />
Submissi<strong>on</strong> of the classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling notificati<strong>on</strong> must be d<strong>on</strong>e electr<strong>on</strong>ically via the<br />
REACH -IT portal <strong>on</strong> the <strong>ECHA</strong> website (https://reach-it.echa.europa.eu/).<br />
<strong>ECHA</strong> has compiled all the informati<strong>on</strong> submitted <strong>on</strong> classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling and established<br />
a classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling inventory as required by the CLP Regulati<strong>on</strong>. The inventory is<br />
publicly accessible through the <strong>ECHA</strong> website (http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/informati<strong>on</strong><strong>on</strong>-chemicals/cl-inventory-database)<br />
and allows free access to most of the informati<strong>on</strong><br />
provided, in particular to the classificati<strong>on</strong> and labelling of the substance. Access to part of the<br />
informati<strong>on</strong> is however restricted to notifiers and registrants who have submitted informati<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>on</strong> the same substance. If the classificati<strong>on</strong>s submitted for the same substance by different<br />
registrants or notifiers differ, the registrants and notifiers are required to make every effort to<br />
come to an agreed classificati<strong>on</strong>, and update their registrati<strong>on</strong>s/notificati<strong>on</strong>s as appropriate.<br />
Additi<strong>on</strong>al informati<strong>on</strong> is provided in the Introductory <str<strong>on</strong>g>Guidance</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> the CLP Regulati<strong>on</strong>, the<br />

substances in the Classificati<strong>on</strong> and Labelling Inventory.<br />
