REACH - CEMBUREAU issues updated clinker and cement safety guidance

CEMBUREAU has issued two updated Safety Data Sheet templates for clinker and cement, together with updated template guidelines. While the content of the templates has not changed, the documents have been updated to incorporate references to the new Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (implementing the Globally Harmonised System in the EU) as published in December 2008 (as opposed to the Draft Commission proposal), and updates following the adoption of the Regulation. The new templates also make reference to the fact that cement is not subject to Registration and that clinker is exempt from registration under REACHⁱ.
