EU-CLP

The CLP Regulation (for “Classification, Labelling and Packaging”) is a European Union regulation which aligns the European Union system of classification, labeling and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures to the Globally Harmonised System (GHS). It is expected to facilitate global trade and the harmonised communication of hazard information of chemicals and to promote regulatory efficiency. It complements the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation (EC No 1907/2006) and replaces the current system contained in the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and the Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EC).

Eco-Efficiency Consulting & Engineering Ltd can help you understand the obligations that CLP places on you and provide technical support to help you meet these obligations.

Notification Compliance

In the context of the CLP Regulation, a database called the “classification and labeling inventory” will be created, containing information about the classification and labeling of those substances that:

  • have been classified as hazardous under CLP

  • have been classified as hazardous under CLP and are contained in mixtures placed in the market in such concentrations as to classify them as hazardous

  • are subject to registration under REACH and placed on the market.

If your substance falls under one of the above categories, you must notify European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) about it, by submitting a notification dossier containing all required information about your company and the substance by the 3rd of January 2011.

Ecoefficiency Consulting & Engineering Ltd can assist you in the collection of all the necessary information and the compiling of a complete notification dossier.
