The CLP Regulation is designed to ensure the safety of workers, consumers and the environment by providing clear and consistent information on the hazards associated with chemicals.
The main aspects of the CLP regulation are
- Classification: The CLP regulation defines precise criteria for classifying chemicals according to their hazards to human health and the environment. Hazards are classified into categories such as physical hazards, health hazards and environmental hazards.
- Labelling: The CLP regulation requires chemicals to be labelled in a clear and standardised manner. Labels must include hazard pictograms, hazard phrases, precautionary statements, product information and contact details for the manufacturer or supplier. Hazard pictograms are visual symbols used to quickly identify the hazards associated with a product.
- Packaging: The CLP regulation also regulates the packaging requirements for chemical products. Packaging must be designed to prevent leakage, contamination and damage, thereby ensuring that chemicals are transported, stored and used safely.
