Side by side

Compare organizations

Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.

Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

Commission Regulation amending the CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and correcting Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/669

GSB-Wahl GMBH · filed 7 Feb 2019 · source

GSB Wahl GmbH is a small enterprise producing printing inks for various applications. Many of our products contain titanium dioxide. The proposed amendment to the CLP Regulation would have far-reaching consequences for us as TiO2 is not to be replaced by other substances. The opacity is unique and it is therefore absolutely essential.

Merck · filed 7 Feb 2019 · source

Merck is deeply convinced that from a scientific point of view there is no comprehensible reasoning for the proposed classification as a CMR substance, hence Merck’s position is “no classification of titanium dioxide”.

Digital Product Passport (DPP) service providers

GSB-Wahl GMBH · filed 15 Nov 2024 · source

Ladies and Gentlemen, the company for which I am working, is a small company in the printing ink industry. I work as a freelance worker and focus on regulatory matters. Any additional burden on the company should be kept to a minimum, otherwise it jeopardises competitiveness. If necessary and possible, we will try to meet the requirements with the least effort and create DPP somehow ourselves.
