Consultation on the CLH classification of silica

Consultation sur la classification CLH de la silice

On 10 June 2024, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) launched a consultation on the Netherlands’ proposal for harmonised classification and labelling (CLH) of synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) nano. This consultation is open until 9 August 2024.

Reading time
~ 2 minutes

As far as cosmetics are concerned, this consultation covers nano synthetic amorphous silicas without surface modification, which have been assigned CAS numbers:
• 112945-52-5
• 112926-00-8
The INCIs “Silica” and “Hydrated silica” fall within this scope.
These substances are not currently regulated by European Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, nor listed in Annex VI of European CLP Regulation 1272/2008.

The Netherlands proposes the following classification.

Identification
Index number
• TBD
Chemical name
• Silica, amorphous, fumed, cryst.-free; Pyrogenic, synthetic amorphous silica, nano [1]
Silica gel, pptd., cryst.-free; Precipitated silica, silica gel, colloidal silica, amorphous, nano [2]
EC numbers
• - [1]
• - [2]
CAS numbers
• 112945-52-5 [1]
