ECHA CLH registry entry for talc updated (latest update shown as 04-Feb-2026) while status remains “Opinion Adopted”

ECHA’s official CLH registry entry for talc (EC 238-877-9; CAS 14807-96-6) shows a registry metadata update dated 04-Feb-2026. The entry continues to reflect that RAC’s opinion has been adopted (with the opinion published in July 2025 per the registry remarks). While this is not a legally binding CLP Annex VI change, it is a trackable process milestone for compliance teams monitoring when talc’s harmonised classification may progress to European Commission adoption and subsequent downstream obligations (e.g., SDS/label updates once an ATP is enacted).
