C&L Inventory - Key Requirements

 📜 Regulatory Basis

Article 40 of the CLP Regulation requires manufacturers and importers to notify ECHA classification and labeling (C&L) information for hazardous substances placed on the EU market. These notifications feed into the C&L Inventory, that is now part of ECHA CHEM, a public database. 

 🗓️ Deadline

Notifications must be submitted within one month of placing a substance on the EU market.

However, all new provisions derived from Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 relevant to C&L shall apply from 1st July 2026. This also includes amendments to Article 42 concerning the public availability of notifier identities.

 👥 Duty Holders

EU importers and manufacturers placing hazardous substances or mixtures on the EU market. Duty holders must ensure their entries are complete and scientifically supported.

 

 📋 Exemptions

A substance does not require a separate C&L notification if:

  1. It has already been registered under REACH with the necessary classification and labeling information.

  2. It is present in imported articles for which REACH registration is not required (per REACH Article 7).

📑 Notification Scope

Notifications to the C&L Inventory apply to hazardous substances placed on the EU market and all substances subject to REACH registration, regardless of hazard classification.

Each notification must include:

  • Identity and contact details of the notifier
  • Identity of the substance
  • Substance composition, impurities, and additives
  • Classification and labeling information
  • Concentration limits, M-factors, and ATE values, where applicable
  • Justifications for any classification divergences from harmonized or existing severe entries

Notifiers are also required to ensure that whenever there are changes, the data is updated within six months.
