The Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) (Amendment) Regulations (Statutory Instrument 2005 No. 2571) were laid before Parliament on 22nd September 2005 and enter into force on 31st October 2005. These Regulations amend the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/1689 as amended by 2004/568).

Regulation 2(2) introduces a new approved supply list, implementing in full Commission Directive 2004/73/EC (“Adapting to technical progress for the 29th time Council Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification and labelling of dangerous substances”). The “approved supply list” means the document entitled “Information Approved for the Classification and Labelling of Dangerous Substances and Dangerous Preparations (Eighth Edition)” approved by the Health and Safety Commission on 26 July 2005. Copies of the approved supply list are available from HSE Books.

The full text of the amendment is available on the Office of Public Sector Information website (formerly Her Majesty’s Stationery Office) at: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2005/20052571.htm
