Hi,
I have recently received a letter from my supplier informing on the name change in several of their products, the chemical contents in them remain unchanged.
I am wondering if I need to do a new COSHH assessment on each one of these products.
Need advice, please.
Thanks
May

May, in my opinion you need to be absolutely certain that the supplier has made no other changes to the product (formulation, dilution, strength, potency, physical form etc) that will alter the risk to anyone likely to be exposed. If this is the case then simply note the name change.
Any change that affects how the product is used or likelihood of harmful contact must be dealt with by a review and change in controls if needed.
In any event, reviews are needed from time to time and especially when there is a significant change in risk. If the assessments are coming up to review time why not bring it forward?

Sounds to me as though you just need to review your current assessments and note the change of name.
