THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (1), as last amended by Directive 79/831/EEC (2), and in particular Article 19 thereof,

Whereas experience shows that it is necessary to adapt the list of dangerous substances in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC in the light of present scientific and technical knowledge, so as to enter further substances on the list, to explain certain criteria for the classification of these substances and to revise the classification and labelling of some of them;

Whereas Article 2 of Directive 67/548/EEC defines as dangerous inter alia explosive, oxidizing, extremely flammable, highly flammable, very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive and irritant substances and preparations according to general criteria ; whereas Article 16 lays down the symbols and indications of danger to be used for the labelling of such substances and preparations ; whereas these symbols and indications of danger are illustrated in Annex II of Directive 67/548/EEC ; whereas, to take into account the new categories of danger included in the Directive, Annex II must be amended;

Whereas Annexes III and IV to Directive 67/548/EEC define the indications of special risks (R phrases) and safety advice (S phrases) ; whereas, in view of the advances in knowledge, certain special risks can be better identified and certain safety advice better formulated ; whereas, under these circumstances, Annexes III and IV need to be amended;

Whereas Articles 5 and 8 (2) of Directive 67/548/EEC lay down provisions on the packaging and provisional labelling of dangerous substances not contained in Annex I thereof ; whereas these provisions must, in particular, be in accordance with the criteria laid down in part II (B) of Annex VI, which lays down the definition of corrosion criteria and irritation criteria, and part II (D), which contains a guide to the labelling of dangerous substances and the criteria for the choice of phrases indicating the special risks (R phrases) and the safety advice (S phrases) assigned to dangerous substances ; whereas in these circumstances Annex VI must be expanded;

Whereas the provisions of this Directive are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee on the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives for the elimination of technical barriers to trade in dangerous substances and preparations, (1) OJ No 196, 16.8.1967, p. 1.
