On June 22, 2026, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) updated the Registry of Classification and Labelling (CLH) Intentions Until Outcome for Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate under the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation. The latest update maintains the substance under "Intention" status for a proposed harmonised classification and labelling. The CLH intention was submitted by France, with the dossier expected to be submitted by March 31, 2027. The substance is registered under the REACH Regulation, and the proposed harmonised classification has not yet been specified. Following dossier submission, the proposal will proceed through ECHA's scientific evaluation and public consultation process before consideration by the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC). The update reflects the ongoing development of a harmonised hazard classification for Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate within the European Union, supporting a consistent approach to chemical hazard communication and regulatory risk management under the CLP framework.
