Description

The Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation, also known as the CLP Regulation, requires companies to classify, label and package their hazardous chemicals appropriately before placing them on the EU market to protect health and the environment but also to ensure free movement of substances, mixtures and article. In this episode, the host Päivi Jokiniemi and the head of ECHA’s Hazard classification unit, Paul Ryan, talk about the amendment that introduced new hazard classes to the regulation – these entered into force in April 2023. They will also discuss the ongoing CLP revision that is one of the key deliverables of the European Commission’s Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. While it aims to update and optimise the regulation by ensuring that dangerous chemicals are properly identified, labelled and classified, it is also an important element in Europe’s move towards a toxic free environment.Useful linksGive us feedbackListen on YouTube MoreNew hazard classes 2023Existing guidance for CLPECHA-EFSA guidance on endocrine disruptionREACH guidance: Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment – chapter R.11: PBT/vPvB assessment **************Subscribe to our YouTube channelSubscribe to our Safer Chemicals PodcastSubscribe to our news Follow us on:TwitterFacebookLinkedInVisit our website Disclaimer: Views expressed by interviewees do not necessarily represent the official position of the European Chemicals Agency.
