Despite its benefits, there are challenges associated with Annex I, such as:
Data Gaps: Incomplete data sets can make it difficult to accurately classify substances, leading to uncertainty in hazard communication. Complexity: The detailed and technical nature of the criteria can be challenging for non-experts to understand, necessitating specialized training. Updates and Revisions: Keeping abreast of updates and revisions to Annex I can be demanding, as scientific understanding and regulatory requirements evolve.
Addressing these challenges requires ongoing collaboration between regulatory bodies, industry, and the scientific community.
