New CLP obligations introduced
5th Apr 2023
New CLP obligations introduced for endocrine disruptors and toxic substances which are persistent, bioaccumulative and mobile.
The EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures Regulation has been amended to address environmental toxicity, persistency, mobility and bioaccumulation in response to scientific opinion.
Substances and mixtures with endocrine disrupting properties can lead to birth defects, developmental disorders, cancer and diabetes in humans. Companies are required to classify and label endocrine disruptors in accordance with the amendments from 1 May 2025 for substances and 1 May 2026 for mixtures.
Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic (PBT) and very Persistent very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) substances do not easily break down in the environment and accumulate in organisms. Persistent, Mobile and Toxic (PMT) and very Persistent very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) substances, in addition to their persistence can enter the water cycle and spread over long distances. Companies are required to classify and label PBT, vPvB, PMT and vPvB substances and mixtures in accordance with the amendments from 1 May 2025 for substances and 1 May 2026 for mixtures.
