HSE public consultation

Call for comments and relevant information

The Great Britain Mandatory Classification and Labelling (GB MCL) process includes the consideration of information gathered from public consultations, conducted by HSE or international bodies such as the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). 

HSE has published a public consultation on the following proposal for a GB MCL:

Deadline: 1 May 2026

• ammonium difluoro-[1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-2-(pentafluoroethoxy)-ethoxy]-acetate (EEA-NH4) (EC Number: -; CAS Number: 908020-52-0)

View the consultation here.

Scientific or technical information and/or wider policy and impact considerations should be submitted using the HSE commenting webform by 1 May 2026. Comments will be published on HSE's website.

For further information on what to submit during the public consultation, please visit the GB MCL webpages on the HSE website.

Further information

Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to share it with HSE. Relevant information includes scientific or technical information relating to the proposed classification, as well as information on the potential impacts of the classification (positive and negative).

If your business is affected by the GB CLP Regulation, please also consider if you are likely to be affected by the classification and labelling proposals.

Under the GB CLP Regulation, HSE will consider all public consultation submissions before publishing Agency Technical Reports and Agency Opinions, so any information you provide will be important in any final GB MCL decision.

If you have any questions or feedback on the GB MCL Agency Opinions, please contact us via email. 

Journalists should contact HSE’s press office for further information.
