CLP

CLP applies to you if you manufacture, import, use or distribute chemical substances or mixtures.

You must classify, label and package any substance or mixture, regardless of its annual tonnage, in accordance with the CLP Regulation before you place it on the EU market.


Placing on the market of a substance or mixture means making it physically available to third parties, whether in return for payment or free of charge.
