category of dangerous substances

Annex I to the Directive lists the categories of dangerous substances.

Schedule 1 of COMAH lists categories of dangerous substances that determine whether the Regulations apply.

Annex 1 contains two tables which are; Part 1 'categories of dangerous substances' and Part 2 'named dangerous substances'.

There are some changes in both named categories of dangerous substances and named dangerous substances between the current Annex I and the Seveso III Annex 1.

Be aware that all COMAH operators are likely to have to send a new notification to the Competent Authority (CA) by 1 June 2016; the updated information includes CLP categories of dangerous substances and more detail about site surroundings (draft Regulation 6).
