Compilation of EINECS. Descriptions Used for Substances, Impurities and Mixtures.
The European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) lists all substances which were on the European Community Market between 1 January 1971 and 18 September 1981. Substances on EINECS are known as "existing" substances. The EINECS inventory was drawn un by the European Commission to meet the requirements of article 13 of Directive 79/831/EEC (1). EINECS was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities in 1990 (2). This paper describes how individual substances, impurities and mixtures were defined and dealt with when registered for the EINCS inventory. It is the first in a series of such papers.
