,On 2 March 2026, Health and Safety Executive (HSE), United Kingdom opened a 60-day public consultation on the proposed mandatory classification and labelling (GB CLP 009) for the substance ammonium difluoro-[1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-2-(pentafluoroethoxy)-ethoxy]-acetate (EEA-NH4) under Article 37A of the GB CLP Regulation. The proposal, prepared by HSE in its role as the GB CLP Agency, aims to establish harmonised hazard classification and labelling requirements for the substance, ensuring consistent communication of risks across Great Britain. The consultation specifies relevant hazard classes for stakeholder review and invites comments either supporting or opposing the proposed classification. Stakeholders, including industry participants and experts, are encouraged to submit scientific data, evidence, or additional information to support their views. The consultation is open for 60 days, closing on 1 May 2026. Submissions received after the deadline will not be considered or included in the consultation summary. Overall, this initiative supports regulatory transparency and evidence-based decision-making while strengthening chemical safety management and hazard communication under the GB CLP framework.
