What does CEPE think of the coating industry's widespread criticism of the powdered titanium dioxide as "suspected to cause cancer in humans"?
Ledier Leroy, technical director of CEPE,
. CEPE is not satisfied that lawmakers are using the CLP to address their concerns. It is not related to the chemical titanium dioxide, but to dust. In the CLP range, chemically inert dust particles are considered for the
. THE POWER should convey the relevant hazards, titanium dioxide does not meet the standard. We don't think this is the right approach because it leads to misunderstandings and ultimately has a negative impact on the CLP itself.
effect on our industry is that liquid mixtures are not classified, and all of this has to be re-labeled with EUH211 sentences. However, if the powder coating meets the criteria for Note 10, it may be in range. The powder mixture is also in range. More generally, the impact on our industry as a whole is a misunderstanding of this classification.
's reputation will
and we expect our industry to suffer from "carcinogens." It has to do with perception and reputation. We will have to explain that for consumers and professional users, lung dust overload is not a realistic situation, so there is no real harm and no risk. Nothing will change for industrial workers who have passed workers' protection regulations and occupational contact control measures in all member states to protect them from dust pollution.
classification will not bring any benefits to society, but will not only have a negative impact on THEC, but will also have a negative impact on downstream legislation, as this will lead to many reductions and the waste problem has not been adequately addressed. This classification sets a precedent for other insoluble particles. It also sets a precedent for the way substances are handled under the EU's uniform classification procedure.
