21st Adaptation to technical and scientific progress (21st ATP) to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 5th of January 2024.
After the draft regulation has been circulating between different EU agencies and committees for quite some time, it is now official: The 21. ATP has officially been published and shall apply from 1st September 2025. It can however be used before that date – that is from 25th January 2024. That means your suppliers might start changing the labelling and classification of certain substances very soon!
Quick overview in numbers:
- 27 new entries with an index number,
- 24 existing index number entries are replaced.
What are some most important entries that may affect the most products:
| Substance | CAS number | New harmonized classification |
|---|---|---|
| cinnamaldehyde (with isomer) | 104-55-2 14371-10-9 |
Skin Sens. 1; H317: C ≥ 0,01 % |
| nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated* | multiple CAS numbers | Aquatic Acute 1; H400 Aquatic Chronic 1; H410; M = 10 |
| benzyl alcohol | 100-51-6 | Acute Tox. 4; H302 Eye Irrit. 2; H319 Skin Sens. 1B; H317 |
| lead massive:[particle diameter ≥ 1 mm] | 7439-92-1 | Repr. 1A; H360FD Lact.; H362 Aquatic Chronic 1; H410; M = 10 |
*nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated (with average molecular weight ≤ 1 540 g/mol) [includes ortho-, meta-, para- isomers or any combination thereof]
