The Downstream Users of Chemicals Co-ordination group (DUCC) and
SMEUnited
launched the series of "Guidance at a Glance” leaflets. This initiative
between chemical formulators and the European SME and craft sector aims
to provide a user-friendly introduction to specific requirements of
Europe’s Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation for
chemical substances and mixtures.
Feedback from the authorities enforcing the CLP Regulation
indicates that compliance needs to be improved in specific areas,
notably:
The reported findings also suggest that these CLP obligations are
not well understood outside of the traditional supply chain for
chemicals.
To help support an improvement in the safe use of chemicals through
improved CLP compliance, DUCC and SMEUnited developed these leaflets.
They aim to provide readers with a high-level introduction to specific
requirements of the CLP Regulation. Aimed at a general audience, these
leaflets seek to complement the existing and detailed
guidance provided
by the European Chemicals Agency.
