9. Update on Seveso Classifications in ESIS and C&L Inventories
ESIS – alive until next year. BUT last updated on 1st January 2012! Seveso categories indicated.
C&L Inventory database – harmonised classification (Table 3.1 of Annex VI to the CLP Regulation) provided by ECHA and notified substances suggested by the industry. BUT the latters not approved yet. Updated to the last ATP. No Seveso categories yet.
Seveso III transition to C&L
Minimum classification is given. Named substances (48) only for indication. Seveso categories – translation needed. Mixtures – self classification by MS’s.

11. MAHB Website Development and the MINERVA portal
The MAHB website is being converted to a completely new platform
The new MINERVA portal will replace the MAHB website – projected for December 2013
MINERVA will be an entry point for all MAHB website including eMARS and eSPIRS and Seveso inspections, and also some new features
Until an online version is ready, the current MAHB website will not be replaced
We’ll keep you posted on the development …
