American Marconi Wireless News - Pace(R) Life Sciences to Host Free Webinar on EU Endocrine Disruptor Classification and New CLP Hazard Classes

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / The European Union has expanded how endocrine disruptors are care classified, introducing new hazard classes under its Classification, Labeling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation that could impact global manufacturers.

Pace^® Life Sciences is hosting a free, virtual webinar led by Sherry Sachdeva, PhD, that will examine the EU's updated endocrine disruptor framework and its compliance implications. With growing evidence linking endocrine-disrupting chemicals to serious human health and environmental effects, the European Commission amended CLP on March 21, 2023 to add eight new hazard classes aligned with the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability and the European Green Deal. Classification of endocrine disruptors now follows a weight-of-evidence approach, including Category 1 and Category 2 designations and defined mixture thresholds.

Despite increased regulatory focus, significant data gaps remain. While approximately 100 substances are currently identified under REACH as ED, PBT/vPvB, or PMT/vPvM, impact assessments suggest that more than 1,600 substances could ultimately require classification. This evolving landscape presents both scientific and compliance challenges for industry.
