CLP Regulations.

CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) is the EU’s way of implementing GHS. The regulation includes the classification principles and labelling rules agreed at UN level (GHS). It introduces new classification criteria, pictograms and hazard and precautionary statements. The main objective of the GHS/CLP is that the same hazards will be identified and labelled in the same way all around the world.

CLP (Classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures)

The regulation on classification and labelling came into force on the 20th of January 2009. CLP aligns existing EU legislation to the United Nations Globally Harmonised System (GHS).

GHS is a United Nations system to identify hazardous chemicals and to inform users about these hazards through standard symbols and phrases on the packaging labels and through the safety data sheets (SDS).

CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) is the EU’s way of implementing GHS. The regulation includes the classification principles and labelling rules agreed at UN level (GHS). It introduces new classification criteria, pictograms and hazard and precautionary statements. The main objective of the GHS/CLP is that the same hazards will be identified and labelled in the same way all around the world.

CLP will replace the current system contained in the Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/ECC) and the Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EC) and it complements the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).

It is hoped that CLP will facilitate international trade in chemicals and to protect workers, consumers and the environment.

 

The guide for label sizes is as follows:

  • Capacity of the package: Dimensions (in millimetres)
  • Not exceeding 3 litres: If possible at least 52 x 74mm
  • Greater than 3 litres but not exceeding 50 litres: At least 74 x 105mm
  • Greater than 50 litres but not exceeding 500 litres: At least 105 x 148mm
  • Greater than 500 litres: At least 148 x 210mm

Testimonials

Happy Customers.

Customer testimonials are crucial to Eurosoft as they showcase our product's quality, and offer valuable insights for continuous improvement.

  • Eurosoft Delivers Reliable, Cost-Effective Labeling with Exceptional Service

    I have dealt with Eurosoft for many years and they have always provided exemplary service. The accuracy of their work, the swift turnaround and their general helpfulness make it very easy for me to recommend them as a supplier.
    The costs are very reasonable and instead of having to run our own labelling machine, pay for the supplies and sort out postage of the labels, I can send a short summary of the label requirements to Phil and his team and a proof is produced and after approval from us, the labels are printed off and sent to a nominated address. It couldn’t be easier. A trusted and valued supplier.
