The Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) Regulation has undergone a major revision, bringing significant changes that impact all sectors of the chemical industry. The updated rules introduce new hazard classes, labelling requirements, and classification criteria that will shape how hazardous chemicals are identified, classified, and communicated.
