Since January 1, 2025, the obligation to comply with Regulation CLP 1272/2008, which regulates the classification, labelling, and identification of chemical substances and mixtures in the European Union, has come into force. This regulation aims to strengthen the chemical safety of products classified as hazardous.
Therefore, the labels on containers must include codes, pictograms, and warnings to ensure correct identification, especially in emergency situations.
BENEFITS OF COMPLYING WITH THE CLP REGULATION.
Complying with this regulation not only guarantees legal compliance but also offers significant advantages:
- Protection and trust: Your products will be correctly labelled with standardized pictograms that warn of hazards, ensuring quick and reliable identification.
- Professional reputation: Meeting the standards shows your commitment to quality and safety.
- Distribution without issues: You ensure that your products can be marketed throughout the European Union without regulatory issues.
- Emergency safety: You facilitate the response of teams during chemical incidents.
LABELLING REQUIREMENTS ACCORDING TO THE NEW CLP REGULATION.
The CLP regulation establishes the essential requirements for labelling hazardous substances and mixtures, ensuring the safety of the consumer and the work environment.
What should a chemical product label include?
- Basic information: Name, address, and contact details of the supplier, product quantity, and identification (name and number as applicable).
- Codes, pictograms, and warnings: Hazard icons and risk indications based on the classification of the product.
- Precautionary advice: Recommendations to prevent accidents and minimize risks, tailored to each product type and its intended use.
- Language: The label must be in the official language of the country where the product is marketed.
This labelling system aims to provide consumers and workers with clear and precise information about the risks associated with hazardous substances or mixtures.
