As of July 2026, ECHA will start publishing the names of companies that have submitted notifications to the Classification and Labelling (C&L) Inventory.

Companies wishing to keep their company names confidential must submit a request by 30 June 2026.

The information provided by ECHA on this matter can be summarised as follows:

  • Company names will be published in the C&L section of ECHA CHEM and will be made available in separate lists for each classification and substance type.
  • At the initial stage, it is planned that only the names of companies linked to CLP notifications will be published.
  • In the case of group notifications, the name of the company acting on behalf of the group will be published, while the names of the members will not be published.
  • For Classification and Labelling (C&L) information originating from REACH registrations, the registrant information already available in the Dossier section of ECHA CHEM will be displayed in the C&L Inventory.

According to ECHA, this change follows the 2024 revision of the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation and aims to help companies reach agreement on classification and labelling entries for the same substance.
