ECHA seeks comments on hazard label for mancozeb

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is looking for comments on the harmonized classification and labelling proposals for mancozeb.

Mancozeb is a fungicidal active substance used in plant protection products with an existing harmonized classification and labelling in Annex VI to CLP. Comments are invited on skin sensitization, germ cell mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, specific target organ toxicity — repeated exposure and hazardous to the aquatic environment hazard classes.
 
A parallel public consultation on the Renewal Assessment Report for mancozeb as an active substance in plant protection products is ongoing on the EFSA website. The deadline for comments is 27th April 2018, 23:59 EET (Helsinki time).
