The European Commission have ratified the draft 14th ATP to the CLP Regulation, concluding agreement with ECHA’s RAC on titanium dioxide. TiO2 will therefore be incorporated within Table 2, Part 3, of Annex VI to the CLP Regulation, with harmonised classification as carcinogen category 2. The specific notes on respirable particles, the classification and labelling of liquid mixtures to account for non-hazardous forms of the substance i.e. solutes, and the precautionary measures to be adopted to minimise hazards to human health from dust or droplets that may be generated during the use of mixtures, will accompany the entry, as planned.
