Under CLP, the act of "Placing on the market” determines the point at which the CLP requirements apply to general chemicals (substances and or mixtures) ‘supplied’ in the European Union (EU). This includes toll manufactured chemicals (chemicals formulated by one company for another company).
This guidance explains the consequences for FEICA members of the "placing on the market" definition.

For a correct CLP implementation you need to be aware of the transitional periods and deadlines for classifying, labelling and packaging your chemicals, as well as of the main changes derived from shifting systems and the provisions provided in related legislation (e.g. REACH). This FEICA guidance aims to assist members with the classification process.

Labelling under CLP is intended to ensure the effective communication of the hazardous properties of the chemicals to the potential users, and to others who might be exposed to the chemical.

Introduction to the classification, labelling and packaging of chemicals in Europe (CLP, acronym for the EU directly acting Regulation (EC) No 1271/2008).
Law in all EU Member States since January 2009, but is being phased in with the end of the transitional period for most supply of mixtures, being 1 June 2015.
