CLP, the regulation in EU on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures, is coordinated with GHS and REACH. It is the final standard for the classification, labeling and packaging of chemicals in EU, and will be put into practice at 1^st December, 2010.

CLP has the same administration as REACH so that both the two regulations are handled by ECHA. Besides, CLP makes up the lack of REACH in classification and labeling. CLP has the same implemented procedures as REACH so that accomplishment step by step and transition period is necessary. CLP has the same strict requirements as REACH too.

The differences between CLP and REACH are almost all chemicals are covered by CLP. Not only the quantities such as in REACH, the chemicals more than 1MT in export per year are influenced, in CLP, that less than 1MT will be supervised also. But also the substances have already been admitted by REACH in registration free but not admitted by CLP either. 

Anyway, since 1^st December 2010, all the chemicals in and out EU should abide by the CLP or more duration in port, cargo return and amercement would be in line.

For Psychem, firstly, the details of classification, labeling and packaging will be updated according to the requirements in CLP. Secondly, psychem has already discussed with the forwarders to focus on the application to ECHA so that make all the shipments smoothly.

Psychem notices, learns and follows the CLP.

The acute toxicities of four formulations to silkworm (Bombyx mori) were evaluated in laboratory, using the leaf dipping method. The toxic symptoms of silkworms after treatment of pesticides were systematically observed. The results indicated that the LC50 of Pyrethrins,5%EC, Imidacloprid, 2.5%WP and Chloramine Phosphorus, 20%EC were between 0.1~10mg/L, belonging to high toxicity grade; the LC50 S of Difenoconazole and Propiconazole, 300g/L EC was 5.60*100mg/L, belonging to low toxicity grade. The observation of toxicosis symptoms of four formulation on silkworm displayed similar symptoms like vomitive, distorted, “C” or “S” shaped and repose etc.
