CLP regulation is set forth as a means of protecting health and the environment by appropriately identifying hazardous substances, mixtures, and articles.
CLP regulation, or the Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation, is a regulation set forth as a means of protecting the health and the environment in addition to the “free movement of substances, mixtures, and articles.” CLP is the only legislation in the EU responsible for the classification and labeling of substances and mixtures.
One of the biggest goals and regulations of CLP is to help determine if a substance is potentially hazardous and in need of a hazardous classification. Once the substance’s toxicological information has been determined and it meets hazardous material criteria, it is assigned a hazard class. Hazard classes are based on physical, environmental, health, and other hazards. If a substance is determined to be hazardous it must be made known to other members of the supply chain who may deal with the substance, including customers.
Correctly labeling hazardous substances includes labels and safety data sheets to alert users of the substance or mixture to the presence of a hazardous substance and therefore they need to take necessary precautions.
The CLP regulation was most recently updated on May 4, 2018.
