Consultation on the Proposal for Harmonized Classification and Labelling for Silver

In essence, WVMetalle emphasize that the classification criteria are not conclusively met and that specifically the classification proposal as a reproductive toxicant is premature. Proposing this classification when an agreement at ECHA and Member State level was already achieved to perform a full EOGRT study (under EU REACH; including DIT and DNT cohorts) is not coherent with a sustainable chemicals management strategy for addressing potential hazards of silver.
