Revision of the CLP Regulation

In August-November 2021, the European Commission held a public consultation to seek stakeholders’ views on the revision of Regulation 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation). As announced in the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability of October 2020, the European Commission intends to put forward a proposal on the revision of the CLP Regulation in the third quarter of 2022. As part of this revision, the European Commission is considering a number of actions, such as introducing new hazard classes (e.g. endocrine disruptors, persistency, bioaccumulation and toxicity), introducing an obligation to provide information of some hazards on the label for products currently outside the scope of the CLP Regulation, clarifying the obligations to classify mixtures and some complex substances, and introducing specific rules for online sales.
