Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Dangerous Substances Regulations 1984 (“the principal Regulations”) to give effect with respect to Great Britain to the provisions of the Commission Directive 87/432/EEC (OJ No. L239, 21.8.87, p.1) adapting to technical progress for the eighth time Council Directive 67/548/EEC (OJ No. L196, 16.8.67, p.1) (OJ/SE 197, p.234) on the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances in relation to substances dangerous for supply.

The Regulations also give effect to the 1986 recommendations of the United Nations Committee on the transport of dangerous goods in relation to substances dangerous for conveyance.

Both these objectives are achieved by a revision to the second edition of the approved list described in regulation 4 of the principal Regulations which is amended by Schedule 1 to these Regulations. The full text of regulation 4 to the principal Regulations as now amended is set out in Schedule 2 to these Regulations.

Regulation 3 of these Regulations contains a transitional provision which allows substances which are classified and labelled in accordance with the unrevised version of the approved list to be supplied until 6th June 1990 and additional provision is made in certain circumstances in relation to small packages until 6th December 1990.

Copies of the revision to the approved list which was published by the Health and Safety Commission and is entitled “First Revision to Information approved for the Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Dangerous Substances (2nd Edition)” (ISBN 0 11 8855042) are obtainable from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
