The present Decree gives effect to Commission Directive 2001/58/EC which amends for the second time Directive 91/155/EEC defining and laying down the detailed arrangements for the system of specific information relating to dangerous preparations in implementation of article 14 of European Parliament and Council Directive 1999/45/EC and relating to dangerous substances in implementation of article 27 of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (safety data sheets). According to article 14 of Directive 1999/45/EC a requirement is introduced for persons responsible for placing preparations on the market to provide on the request a safety data sheet containing relative information. It is known from recent enforcement activities and studies that many safety data sheets are of poor quality and do not provide adequate information for the user. A way of improving the quality of safety data sheets is to improve the guidance given to compilers of safety data sheets. Under this light, article 1(paragraph 1) and the Annex mentioned in article 5 of Ministerial Decree No. 508/91 are amended as set out in the text and Annex to this Decree.
