The Enforcement Forum, which is responsible for coordinating the enforcement of REACH, CLP and biocidal products, held a meeting on 18-20 March to discuss the details of the REF-14 project. The REF-14 project includes controls on the legal requirements for the correct classification, labelling and packaging of hazardous mixtures and chemical products. The inspectors will carry out inspections of products available on the European Union market. The inspections will particularly cover nicotine products, as well as fragrances and air fresheners that contain irritant substances.
The inspections will also cover additional requirements set out in the updated CLP regulation – the use of fold-out labels, the use of digital labelling or the use of refill stations.
Currently, inspectors are preparing and materials useful to inspectors during inspections are being developed. Inspections at entrepreneurs are to start in 2026.
Below you will find materials and information that will allow you and your company to prepare for the inspection and minimize the risk of errors or penalties.
