Amazon UK CLP Regulation | Simply explained

UK CLP Regulation

The UK CLP (Classification, Labeling and Packaging) Regulation is the UK’s adaptation of the EU CLP Regulation, implemented due to Brexit. It governs the classification, labeling, and packaging of chemicals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

  • Scope: Applies to substances and mixtures imported, manufactured, or sold in the UK, with specific provisions for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
  • Exemptions: Certain items are exempt, such as finished articles, food, cosmetics, and medical devices.
  • Responsibilities: Sellers must ensure compliance with labeling, packaging, and safety requirements, including providing hazard statements and pictograms on products.
  • Northern Ireland Protocol: Requires compliance with both EU and UK regulations for products traded between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

These regulations ensure safe handling and awareness of hazardous chemicals, mandating sellers to consult legal advice for compliance. Non-compliance can lead to market access issues.
