The European Union has officially adopted the internationally accepted chemical classification and labelling system.

The European Union has officially adopted the internationally accepted chemical classification and labelling system. 

On December 31, 2008, the European Council published the official text of the new EU Regulation ((EC) No. 1272/2008) on the classification, labelling and packaging of chemicals and mixtures (CLP). The new CLP adopted the United Nations' Global Harmonized System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), aligning the EU's chemical classification and labelling system with the globally accepted GHS system. The CLP officially came into effect on January 20, 2009, and the existing Directive on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Chemicals (67/548/EEC) and the Directive on Preparations (Directive 1999/45/EC) were completely superseded on June 1, 2015. The implementation of the CLP was phased in. The old Directive on the classification, labeling, and packaging of chemicals was repealed on December 1, 2010, and the old Directive on the classification, labeling, and packaging of formulations (mixtures) was repealed on June 1, 2015 (see Figure 1 for details). The CLP primarily amended the existing directive (67/548/EEC), with Annex I of 67/548/EEC being superseded. New classification elements, including hazard symbols and warnings (such as "Danger" and "Warning"), were introduced into the CLP. The CLP also amended relevant content in some major EU laws, regulations, and directives, including the REACH Regulation ((EC) No. 1907/2006) and the EU Cleaning Agents Regulation ((EC) No. 648/2004). The CLP updated and revised the information filing requirements for the classification of chemicals and formulations (mixtures) under REACH, as well as the relevant SDS requirements.
