EU CLP SDS and Labeling Services
From Global GHS Compliance Services
EU CLP - Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of substances and mixtures. EU CLP stands for the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of substances and mixtures. CLP introduces the United Nations globally harmonized system (UN GHS) for classification and labeling of chemicals into Europe. CLP entered into force on 20th January 2009.
Overview Services
There are many different systems for classifying and labeling chemicals in the world, which causes confusion, potential errors and misunderstandings among workers and consumers alike. This was primarily due to exposure to differing forms of labeling and safety data sheets in different countries. Thus, the United Nations developed a Globally Harmonized System for the classification and labeling of chemicals, known as GHS. As an international agreement GHS is non-legally binding in Europe, therefore the GHS criteria was introduced into Europe via CLP.
The 5th revised edition of the UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS) was adopted now. It’s supposed that the 6th revised edition of GHS will be adopted by CLP soon. CIRS has summarized the differences among the 5th revised UN GHS, CLP regulation, China GHS and US HCS. For more info, please click here.
