ATPs (Adaptation to Technical Progress) are technical adaptations of Annex VI in the CLP Regulation. Normally, there are 18–20 months between the publication and entry into force of an ATP. Substance classifications according to an ATP can be used immediately after publication but must be applied from the date of entry into force.
Since March 2022, Byggvarubedömningen has applied the principle that ATPs should be implemented halfway between publication in the Official Journal of the European Unionand their entry into force.
New practice: ATPs applied only at entry into force
From now on, we are changing the application – ATPs will start to apply only from the date they come into force according to law. By introducing this change, we aim to better meet the needs of material suppliers and logbook users and create a fairer and more efficient handling.
For you as a logbook user
Published assessments will continue to be revised according to the ATP, but this will now occur at the date of entry into force.
We look forward to continued good cooperation to ensure that our assessments are correct, current, and clear.
