Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations implement European Parliament and Council Directive 99/43/EC (O.J. No. L166, 1.7.99, p. 87), which amended for the 17th time Council Directive 76/769/EEC (O.J. No. L262, 27.9.76, p. 201) on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations.

These Regulations revoke the Dangerous Substances and Preparations (Safety) (Consolidation) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3193), and the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3194).

The Regulations amend two sets of principal regulations, namely the Dangerous Substances and Preparations (Safety) (Consolidation) Regulations 1994 (“the Dangerous Substances Regulations”) and the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 1994 (“the CHIP Regulations”). The Dangerous Substances Regulations prohibit the supply to the general public of the substances listed in Schedule 2 to those Regulations. The CHIP Regulations require that substances listed in Schedule 6 Part IIIA to those Regulations, or a preparation containing such a substance must be labelled with the phrase “Restricted to professional users”. The lists are derived from Annex I to Directive 76/769/EC and are identical, being a list of carcinogenic and mutagenic substances and certain substances toxic for reproduction. These Regulations update the list to include the amendments made by Directive 99/43/EC.

The Regulations correct the defect in S.I. 99/3194 by re-introducing Part IIIB of Schedule 6 to the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 1994.

A Regulatory Impact Assessment is available, copies of which have been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Copies are also available from the Consumer Affairs Directorate of the Department of Trade and Industry, Room 433, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET.
