CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) Regulation

FEICA supports its members by keeping them informed on regulatory developments impacting the CLP Regulation (Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008)). In this regard, FEICA has been proactively collaborating with ECHA on the development of the Guidance on labelling and packaging.

The European Commission’s twin proposals under #OmnibusVI mark a positive step toward simplifying EU chemicals legislation. For the adhesive and sealant industry - where 85% of companies are SMEs - this promises greater clarity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. To ensure the revised CLP Regulation is practical and effective, FEICA underscores three key priorities: flexible formatting rules, staggered transition periods, and proportionate advertising provisions. In July 2025, FEICA published its position on CLP, calling for a swift adoption of CLP ‘stop-the-clock’.
