On 20 May 2025, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced that it has officially launched its redesigned Classification and Labelling (C&L) Inventory, which is now integrated into the Agency’s ECHA CHEM platform. This update provides clearer access to both harmonised EU-level classifications and company-notified entries under REACH.
Key Enhancements

Comprehensive Data: The updated inventory includes over 4,400 EU-harmonised classifications and around 7 million classifications submitted through REACH registrations, covering approximately 350,000 substances.
-
Visual Interface: Classification information for each substance is presented in a visual format, improving navigation and usability.
-
Improved Transparency: Users can more easily identify the classification with the highest level of agreement and determine its source.
-
Regulatory Updates Incorporated: The inventory reflects recent developments, including the introduction of new CLP hazard classes.
-
Future Features: Additional functionalities such as application programming interfaces (APIs) are being explored to further enhance data accessibility.

This update follows the initial launch of ECHA CHEM in January 2024, which gave th public access to over 100,000 REACH registrations. The revamped C&L Inventory is part of ECHA’s efforts to create a stable and scalable database that centralises EU chemical data.

Future releases of ECHA CHEM will include overviews of regulatory decisions and activities, such as REACH restrictions, thereby enhancing public access to EU chemicals regulation.
