ESE continues to push for a toxic free environment
In coordination with partner organisations including the Endocrine Society and the European Society of Paediatric Endocrinology, ESE has submitted a response (on 18 October 2022) to the consultation on the revision of the Classification Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Legislation. Overall ESE welcomes the proposal by the European Commission which together with the adoption of the EU Green Deal and the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability represents a real shift in thinking within the EU institutions.
As outlined in its response (PDF document here) to the CLP consultation, ESE especially welcomes the proposed establishment of legally binding hazard identification of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) by adding hazard classes. This will make it easier to restrict EDCs once the criteria are met. ESE further applauds hazard classes and criteria for the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
Together with its partners, ESE will continue to work on further reducing the presence of endocrine disruptors in our environment. With the final CLP proposal expected to be published soon and the upcoming revision of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) by the end of next year, still a lot of work remains to be done in this area.
