Epy Plus Titanium Dioxide Update

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), which is increasingly used industrially in many fields such as nano technological paints, plastics, textiles, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and solar cells, has been re-regulated under the CLP legislation.

According to the regulation, the dust form of titanium dioxide with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 10 μm and containing 1% or more particles has been included in CLP (EU) Annex VI with the 14th ATP and classified as H351 (Inhalation) (See also: Note V, Note W, Note 10).

The carcinogenic (H351) classification is due to the respirable dust form of titanium dioxide.

Physical state	Mixture concentration %1 ≤ containing TiO2 with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 μm
Dust	H351 Suspected of causing cancer (Inhalation) EUH212 Warning! Hazardous respirable dust may be formed when used. Do not breathe dust.
Solid	EUH 212 Warning! Hazardous respirable dust may be formed when used. Do not breathe dust. If the product is not classified as hazardous and is not intended for sale to the public, also: EUH 210 Safety data sheet available on request.
Liquid	EUH 211 Warning! Hazardous respirable droplets may be formed when sprayed. Do not breathe spray or mist. If the product is not classified as hazardous and is not intended for sale to the public, also: EUH 210 Safety data sheet available on request.

The regulation's effective date for the harmonized classification will be September 9, 2021. From the implementation date of the 14th ATP, products containing TiO2 with particles in nanometric form equal to or greater than 1% will require a label update under the CLP Regulation. If you have Epy Plus, all regulatory changes throughout the year will be available to you with software updates.
