Het nieuwe gebruiksvoorschrift en de nieuwe etikettering dienen bij de eerstvolgende aanmaak op de verpakking te worden aangebracht. |
The new Legal Instructions for Use (WG) and the new classification (CLP) from now on have to be used on any new batch of product packed. |
(Standard sentence from the Board decision) So after the Board decision, grace periods may apply for packed product labelled with the old WG, but as soon as a new batch is packed after the Board decision the new WG (and if applicable the new CLP) have to be used. |
| Bestaande voorraad | Existing stock | Existing stock of the product produced for the Dutch market as determined on the date of expiry of the product. It does not matter where it is located, as long as the authorization holder can prove that the stock was predestined for the Dutch market. It also does not matter whether the stock is already packed in the final commercial packaging with Dutch labels or still in bulk. |
In the Board decision the WG version codes and applicable grace periods can be found in Appendix I - Bijlage I Details van de aanvraag en toelating. The argumentation for the grace periods in Dutch can be found in the first chapter of the decision in paragraph 1.4.
