Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 needs to be adjusted to technological and societal changes in the field of digitalisation and be prepared for future developments. Digital labelling could improve the efficiency of hazard communication, especially for vulnerable population groups and people who do not speak the national language of a Member State. Therefore, it is necessary to provide for voluntary digital labelling and to lay down technical requirements for such labelling. In order to provide for legal certainty, it is appropriate to specify the label elements that are allowed to be provided in a digital format only. That possibility should only exist for information which is not instrumental for the safety of the user or the protection of the environment. The decision about what part of the information is not instrumental for the safety of the user or the protection of the environment needs to be transparently documented. Hazard labels shall always remain excluded from this option.

Article 37 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2
The Commission may ask the Agency or the European Food Safety Authority established in accordance with Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002* to prepare a proposal for harmonised classification and labelling of substances and, where appropriate, specific concentration limits, M-factors or acute toxicity estimates, or a proposal for revision thereof. The Commission may subsequently submit the proposal to the Agency. Whenever considered scientifically justified and possible by a competent authority or the European Commission, proposals for classification should prioritise groups of substances rather than individual substances.
