  7. 10. Inconsistencies and missing links in EU chemicals legislation

    Författare :Diana Kättström; Marlene Ågerstrand; Steffen Foss Hansen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; REACH; Cosmetic Products Regulation; Biocidal Products Regulation; CLP; new hazard classes; PBT vPvB; EDC; PMT vPvM; endocrine disruptor; Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The EU chemicals legislation consists of the Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and the Regulation on Classification, Labelling, and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP), complemented by over fifty regulations and directives regulating specific uses and products. While regulating individual uses may offer a faster and simpler approach to protecting human health and the environment from hazardous chemicals, it can also lead to inconsistencies, such as gaps and overlaps.
