Notification of Classification & Labelling

The notification of Classification & Labelling is mandatory for all hazard substances which are NOT registered by December 2010.

There will be no notification by a « Lead Notifier ». However, as a service to the industry, the Nickel Consortia will freely communicate the information required for this notification. This information is provided in .i5z (IUCLID) format and includes Section 1.1 (reference substance), 1.2 and 2.1. It is up to the company to complete Section 1.1 (legal entity specific information), to review section 1.2 and to fill section 1.4 since company specific.
