CLP

Requirements for substances:

CLP Article 48(1) outlines the information which must be provided in an advertisement for a substance classified as hazardous. The advertisement shall contain the hazard class and/or the applicable hazard categories, as appropriate, e.g. acute oral toxicity cat. 3.

Requirements for mixtures:

CLP Article 48(2) requires that any advertisement for a mixture classified as hazardous or covered by Article 25(6) which allows a member of the general public to conclude a contract for purchase without first having sight of the label shall mention the type or types of hazard indicated on the label.

This means that any seller who offers a hazardous mixture via advertisement through internet, must provide to the buyer (general public/consumer) all relevant information regarding the type or types of hazards indicated on the label of the mixture. This information includes the text of all the hazard statements and any other supplemental hazard statements related to the mixture as referred to in CLP Article 25(6). It is also recommended that the hazard pictograms and signal word are mentioned, where appropriate, to alert the buyer of a potential hazard.
