Monitoring watches the rules behind your safety data sheets. When one moves, Foresight traces it to the sheets it affects and proposes the change for your expert to review.
Monitoring
Illustrative projectWatching 4 measures behind the proposals
CLP Annex VI harmonised classifications
- Status: To review
Germany’s workplace limits, TRGS 900
The June 2026 amendment added limits for cobalt, pyridine and EDAO, and replaced the limit for trimellitic anhydride. Rechecked, only AH 52 contains one of them, and its German sheet now carries the new limit.
UK REACH Candidate List
CLP Article 30, deadlines for updating labels
What we need from you
Four things, shared at setup before the project starts.
Your safety data sheets
The current version of each sheet, for every market you supply.
Your formulations
What each product contains and at what concentration, so a new classification can be traced to every sheet it affects.
Your markets
Where each sheet is supplied, because exposure limits and listings differ by country.
Your approver
The person who agrees the scope and approves each change before it’s published.
What teams ask about this project
How do you work out what changes on each sheet?
Monitoring finds the rule change, such as a new harmonised classification, a national exposure limit or a Candidate List entry. Foresight traces the substance through your formulations to every sheet that contains it, and applies CLP’s concentration limits to see what follows. The same entry can add H341 to one sheet and not another, depending on how much of the substance each product contains.
Where does the evidence come from?
From the official texts: the delegated regulations that amend CLP Annex VI, national limit lists such as Germany’s TRGS 900, and the Candidate Lists that ECHA and HSE keep. Each proposal links to the source it relies on.
When must a revised sheet go out, and to whom?
REACH Article 31(9) says without delay: as soon as new hazard information, or information that affects risk management measures, becomes available, and when an authorisation is granted or refused or a restriction imposed. The revised sheet is dated ‘Revision: (date)’ and goes free of charge to everyone you supplied in the previous 12 months. UK REACH sets the same rule in Great Britain. A new harmonised classification applies from the date its delegated regulation sets, 1 February 2027 for the 23rd adaptation.
Who checks a change before it’s published?
The person you name. They agree the sheets, markets and formulations before any drafting starts, and check every proposal against its source. Nothing is published until they approve it. These checks reduce the risk of error without removing it.
What happens when a rule changes?
Foresight traces it to the sheets it affects and proposes the change, whether it’s a harmonised classification or an exposure limit. Published sheets stay as they are until your expert approves the change.
What does it cost?
The price follows how many sheets, products and markets it covers. You see it with the scope, before any drafting starts.
