Last year, poison centers across Europe handled around 600,000 calls about accidental poisoning, and almost half of them reported incidents involving young children.
And is that, not being really aware of it, our homes are full of products that contain potential harmful chemicals: materials for crafts, cleaning products of common use, gardening supplies, etc.
As part of SIAM's strategic growth and diversification plan, we have acquired the ownership of "Laboratorios Almabe IDUQC", an independent laboratory founded in 2012 and located in the Murcia Science and Technology Park.
The European Chemicals Agency has been working in collaboration with de OECD, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre and other organisations from the United States and Canada to develop alternative methods to assess chemical hazards and to protect people from skin sensitisation while prompting non animal test methods.
The result of this collaboration is the Guideline on Defined Approaches for Skin Sensinitation, adopted on June 14, 2021.
The European Commission has published REGULATION (EU) 2021/1297 of 4 August 2021 amending Annex XVII to REACH restricting perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) containing 9 to 14 carbon atoms in the chain (C9-C14 PFCAs), their salts and substances from 23 February 2023 onwards, although some uses have been granted longer transition periods.
The decision responds to a restriction proposal submitted by German and Swedish authorities in 2017.
The classification and labelling requirements for titanium dioxide (TiO2) changed in February 2020 following Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2017, effective October 1, 2021.

Since 1969, the Vicente Ferrer Foundation has been committed to the fight against poverty and the development of one of the most impoverished areas of India, the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. They have developed actions to raise awareness of hygiene habits, to combat discrimination against women, to help migrants, to promote inclusive education, etc.
However, as it happened in the rest of the world, the public health emergency due to the coronavirus pandemic has been a great challenge for all its material and human resources, which have worked tirelessly to alleviate its consequences.
The new Resolution 773 of 2021 of the Ministry of Labor defines the actions that employers must implement in their companies in terms of classification and hazard communication for chemical hazards, under the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals GHS- sixth revised edition(2015), which Colombia adopted through Decree 1496 from 2018 in order to “turn it into a tool for the prevention of the potential effects that hazardous chemicals may have on human health and the environment. ”
The implementation of the GHS by companies in the workplace also represents a promotion and prevention action that was established as mandatory by the Article 9 of Law 1562 of 2012 on the Occupational Health and Occupational Health System.
Last month, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) added 8 new hazardous chemicals to the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), which now contains a total of 219 chemicals.
Some of them are used in consumer products, such as cosmetics, scented articles, rubber and textiles, and some others are used, for example, as solvents or flame retardants in the manufacture of plastic products. Most of them were added to the Candidate List due to their hazards to people, being toxic for reproduction, carcinogenic, respiratory sensitizers or endocrine disruptors.
The Forum will prepare a draft revision of the SDS in 2022, carry out inspections in 2023 and report the results in 2024.
The 38th meeting of the Enforcement Forum once again ratified the poor quality of the information contained in the safety data sheets produced by companies. It already detected the problem in its REF-2 project back in 2013, when it found that 52% of the files contained deficient information, and its latest actions in Member States confirm the trend almost a decade later.
The use of the most widely used herbicide in the world is in question after a WHO report warning of its "possible carcinogenic effects".. In Europe its use is guaranteed until 2022, but EFSA and ECHA have received a draft assessment of glyphosate carried out by four EU Member States and will now begin to consider the findings.
The Assessment Group on Glyphosate- AGG scientific proposal about glyphosate´s harmonised classification, addressed to the ECHA last month, is not to change the existing classification from 2017.
An expert panel of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has concluded that they cannot exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles.
Titanium dioxide is used as food colour (E171) to make food more visually appealing, to give colour or to restore the original appearance of food. It is frequently used in bakery wares, soups, broths, sauces, salads, savoury based sandwich spreads and processed nuts, but is also present in cosmetics, paints, and medicines.
The Guidance on Poison Centres Notifications is an orientation document on the European harmonised information relating to emergency health response – Annex VIII to CLP, that aims to help users subject to regulation to comply with their obligations.
The first version was developed with the support of a specialized working group made up of industry experts, bodies designated by the Member States and European toxicology institutes. Since its first version in February 2019, the document has been updated in consultation with ECHA partners.
A few weeks ago, its fourth version was published, which addresses problems and solutions identified by certain industrial sectors in the harmonized notification process. Next, we explain the main novelties by sections.
On April 20 it was published in the Official Journal of the European Union, the COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/643 of 3 February 2021, which is equivalent to the 16th adaptation to technical and scientific progress, by modifying part 1 of Annex VI of the CLP Regulation (CE) on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
In its initial remarks, the Commission explains that the amendment has been carried out at the request of some Member States and stakeholders, which have requested that a number of the notes set out in subsection 1.1.3 of Part 1 of Annex VI to CLP be amended alluding to the fact that they were vague and generated a degree of uncertainty that did not allow the correct interpretation of legal obligations.
Annex VIII harmonized poison centre notifications (PCN) was first implemented from January 1, 2021, for consumer and professional users. Importers, downstream users and distributors placing hazardous mixtures on the European markets must notify the ingredients in those mixtures classified as hazardous for physical or health effects.
This requirement is not new, it has existed for years, but before Annex VIII, each Member State managed its own system and established their own requirements, which varied on the type of information provided, the mechanism of notification, the language or the formats. Annex VIII introduced a new harmonized format for notifications.
Adopting the seventh revised edition of the GHS would provide increased worker health and safety benefits and worker protections and to comply with the Canada – United States Regulatory Cooperation Council Joint Forward Plan
The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is Canada’s national hazard communication standard with regard to workplace hazardous products. The key elements of the system are: hazard classification, cautionary labelling of containers, the provision of safety data sheets, and worker education and training programs. It requires suppliers of hazardous products intended for use, handling or storage in Canadian workplaces to classify and provide hazard information through labels and safety data sheets.
The roadmap, set up to identify and include all relevant Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) in the Candidate List by 2020, has just published an analysis of its main achievements and extended aims

The document aims to help users comply with their obligations under the REACH Regulation, and the main novelty introduced in the latest version is that the transition period in the application of the new Regulation (EU) 2020/878 is officially confirmed, as stated in section 1.3.:
On November 13, the Second Amendment of Annex VIII to CLP was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. It was designed to improve the viability of the information requirements related to harmonized toxicological notification, which will come into effect on the next 1 January 2021.
At Siam we specialize in helping companies comply with all international regulations, so whether you have retained merchandise at Mexican customs or if you are thinking of exporting there, we can help you.
Since last October 1st, all goods exported to Mexico must display the origin labeling following the requirements stipulated by the corresponding Mexican regulations for commercial or health information. If they do not comply with this requirement, the merchandise will be withheld by Customs and their entry into Mexico will be prohibited. Solving the situation may generate substantial custom charges. Do you want to know how to avoid this situation? Let's take a look at the regulations.
The objectives of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) are to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment as well as the free movement of substances, mixtures and articles. These objectives are fulfilled, inter alia, by establishing a list of substances with their harmonised classifications and labelling elements at Union level. Its article 37, in order to guarantee that the regulations are adapted to technical and scientific progress, empowers the Commission to quickly include substances in Table 3 of Part 3 of Annex VI, where it finds that the harmonisation of the classification and labelling is appropriate.
The European Commission has published Regulation (EU) 2020/878, amending the annex II of REACH regulation, that sets the requirements for chemical safety data sheet in the European Union.
Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2021, after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
We have summarized the main changes introduced by this new regulation:
The European Commission has just published "Readiness", an informative guide on preparations for the end of the transitional period between the European Union and the United Kingdom and which is addressed to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions.
Its objective? To help national authorities, businesses and citizens to prepare for the inevitable changes that will emerge at the end of the transition period, scheduled for January 1, 2021.
The list, that now contains 209 substances that may have serious effects on our health or environment, has recently been updated to include three substances considered toxic to reproduction and one endocrine disruptor:
How are we delivering on safer chemicals?
How can companies prepare for the new EU obligations on chemicals kicking in next year?
These are the questions that the European Chemicals Agency ECHA wanted to address in its 2020 edition of the Safer Chemical Conference, a training meeting between experts that analyzed the main European lines of action implemented in the chemical industry with the aim to contribute to protecting the health and environment of EU citizens.
A few weeks ago, our teammates Pilar Ortiz-Alías and Nirav Banker were part of the SURFEX LIVE event with its webinar “Poison Centre Notifications (PCN): The UFI Code and European Harmonised Toxicological Notification”, in which they addressed the obligation, according to Article 45 of the CLP Regulation, of companies placing hazardous mixtures to provide information about it to the relevant national bodies, that make this information available to poison centres so that they can give advice to the citizens or medical personnel in the event of an emergency. The objective of this system, is to guarantee a high level of protection of human health and the free circulation of substances and mixtures within the EU.
From next july, the old number will no longer be operating and 800 250 250 becomes the only number enabled for calls to the poison centre linked to the National Institute of Medical Emergencies (INEM) in Portugal. The new number is free to ensure access to the service for all citizens.
16 years after its birth, Linkedin has over 600 million users worldwide. Along this time, it has grown from a mere bulletin board and job portal to become a platform that gives voice to the organization, and helps its members (employees and followers) to obtain information about the company, its products, services and any other updates.
A large number of chemical products (paints, sanitary products, detergents, etc) are placed on the EU market every year, and used by both the general public and professionals on a daily basis. Chemical products are in general considered safe when you use it properly, following their instructions. However, accidents happen and, in the case of these products, an unintentional exposure to chemicals may occur. When it happens, it is commendatory to develop a mechanism that provide both medical staff and emergency professionals immediate access to relevant information on the concrete chemical product.
