Updating Selection of hazardous Equipment for the Land use planning around Seveso Sites in Walloon Region after the CLP Regulation

Currently, the method of selection of hazardous equipment in Wallonia explained in the Vade-Mecum of the Walloon Region, namely used for land use planning is based on risk phrases defined in the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and the Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EC). However, since December 2010, the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (1272/2008) must be used for dangerous substances and from June 2015 for mixtures. Later, this Regulation will completely replace the two old Directives which will be abrogated from June 2015. In this context, it seems justified to adapt the current selection method in prevision of the future abrogation of these Directives. Ideally, the new selection method should identify as hazardous, the same equipment than the current method but it is obvious.
