Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP)
The Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulation was implemented in 2009, as the EU implementation of the United Nations’ Globally Harmonised System on the classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS). Known hazards of a substance are communicated using pictograms and hazard statements on safety data sheets and labels. We have a full range of ingredients that are carry no hazard classifications, or that carry milder classifications. Please download our CLP datasheet, or contact us to find out more information.
