PUBLICATION OF THE REVISION OF THE CLP REGULATION
Regulation (EU) No 2024/2865 amending the CLP Regulation was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ 2024) on 20 November 2024.
This revision of the CLP Regulation brings the following improvements:
Update of the classification rules for substances
- Addition of new hazard classes as priority classes for harmonised classification;
- Case definition of complex substances (substances containing more than one constituent or ‘MOCS’);
- Update of classification procedures: In addition to Member States and industry, the Commission will also have the right to prepare a dossier on the draft harmonised classification. This will make it possible to accelerate the pace of identification of the most hazardous substances;
Hazard Notification Update
- Revised formatting requirements for labels (including online sales), including: minimum font size, line spacing;
- Clarification of label update dates: no more than 6 months in case of stricter classification;
- extending the use of fold-out labels and introducing voluntary digital labelling (except for the physical label);
- Definition of new rules for bulk/refillable chemicals.
Other updates:
- Clarification of the rules for online sales: websites will have to display dangerous properties of products.
- It introduces the need for a European supplier to ensure that a substance or mixture meets the requirements of the CLP Regulation, so that consumers who shop online are no longer considered importers.
- Explicit introduction of an obligation to inform the Poison Centre for distributors who change brands, brand modifiers or simply distributors who place on the market in another Member State.
The regulation will enter into force on 10 December 2024 and will apply within 18 months or 2 years, as the case may be.
