TheDangerous Preparations Directive[1] was aEuropean Union directive in the field ofoccupational safety and health andconsumer protection that came into force in 30 July 1999. It complemented theDangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and replaced a previous Dangerous Preparations Directive (88/379/EEC).[2] TheEuropean Court of Justice had ruled in 1985 that Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) applies only to pure substances, not preparations (mixtures of substances).[3] It was repealed on 1 June 2015, as part of the European Union's adoption ofGlobally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, as part ofCLP Regulation.[4]
