The European Commission is preparing a Delegated Regulation to update the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation in line with technical progress and the latest updates to the UN Globally Harmonised System (GHS), specifically revisions 8 to 10.
No Public Consultation Planned
As this will be a Delegated Regulation, no public consultation will be held. The regulation is expected to be published by the end of 2025 after which there will probably be a two-year implementation period.
Technical Updates Expected
The update is expected to include technical changes such as revised criteria for aerosols and desensitized explosives, updated precautionary statements, and clarificationon labelling small containers, aligning the CLP with GHS revisions 8 to 10. However, the actual draft of the Delegated Regulation has not yet been published.
