Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

1.  These Regulations amend the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/3247) by introducing a new edition of the approved supply list (which prescribes agreed classification and labelling for many common chemical substances) so as to include mineral wools, refractory ceramic fibres and special purpose fibres in that list.

2.  The Regulations thereby implement Commission Directive 97/69/EC (OJ No. L 343, 13.12.97, p. 19) adapting to technical progress for the 23rd time Council Directive 67/548/EEC (OJ No. L 196, 16.8.67, p. 1) on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances.
