The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has redesigned the Classification and Labelling (C&L) Inventory within its chemicals database, ECHA CHEM. The updated inventory is now accessible to users.
What is ECHA CHEM?
To briefly remind, ECHA CHEM is a platform created by the European Chemicals Agency to improve the use of the largest database in the European Union.
Due to the sheer volume of information, users have increasingly found the former database difficult to navigate. To improve usability and accessibility of a database that receives over 30 million views, ECHA developed ECHA CHEM.

What Has Been Updated in ECHA CHEM?
To facilitate easier access to classification information for users, the user interface has been improved. Additionally, current and upcoming harmonised classifications at the EU level have been clarified. This aims to support companies in preparing for and implementing necessary safety measures.
The C&L Inventory, which includes more than 4,400 harmonised classifications and classifications notified or included in REACH registrations, contains data on approximately 350,000 substances in total. According to ECHA, the updated inventory has been adapted in line with recent legislative changes and designed with future developments in mind.
