Member state competent authorities, manufacturers, importers or downstream users can make a proposal for harmonized classification and labeling of a substance to be included in Annex VI of CLP. In accordance with the procedure laid down in the CLP regulation, the proposal should be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The Committee for Risk Assessment of ECHA will then adopt an opinion on the proposal and forward it to the Commission for a possible inclusion in an ATP.
