Regulation came into force, introducing significant changes to chemical labelling requirements. This update aims to enhance chemical safety, improve information transparency, and simplify compliance for businesses across the EU.
Key changes include:
Enhanced Online Transparency: Online retailers are now mandated to clearly display hazardous properties of chemicals on their websites, ensuring consumers are well-informed and fostering a level playing field within the industry.
Simplified Labelling: The regulation permits more flexible use of fold-out labels, introduces digital labelling options, and mandates improved legibility of labels, making it easier for consumers and workers to understand chemical hazards.
Advertising Requirements: Advertisements and online offers must now include information on chemical hazards, aiding consumers in making informed choices and promoting a market for sustainable chemical products.
Refill Station Guidelines: For the first time, the regulation provides clear guidelines for the safe sale of household chemicals via refill stations, contributing to packaging waste reduction.
If your company manufactures, imports, or distributes chemical products, it's crucial to understand and comply with these new regulations to ensure continued market access and consumer trust.
