The role of CLP

CLP, EU Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, regulates the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures in the EU market and communicates the results of the hazard classification to users through labels and SDS.

Needs attention at this time

(EU) 2023/707 Several hazard categories were added; (EU) 2024/2865 further revised CLP; (EU) 2025/2439 adjusted partially applicable dates and transitional arrangements.The current consolidated text of EUR-Lex should be checked when preparing the document.
