In case you missed it – consultation on the nanomaterial definition review

It’s been a busy week for anyone interested in European Chemical Policy.
On 4 May, the Commission published the inception impact assessment for the revision of CLP, and on the 5 May, the inception impact assessment for the revision of REACH.
So you may have missed this. On Friday evening, DG Environment published a’Targeted stakeholder consultation relating to the Review of the EU recommendation on the definition of the term “nanomaterial”. A lot of people may have thought this was going to be a normal better regulation public consultation, but it not.

There is three important consultations happening at the same time. If you produce or use industrial chemicals, they are all important for you.
