The CLP Regulation, Article 46, on Enforcement and Reporting, states that “Member States shall take all necessary measures, including maintaining a system of official controls, to ensure that substances and mixtures are not placed on the market, unless they have been classified, labelled, notified and packaged in accordance with this Regulation”.
Main Obligations of EU Importers under CLP Regulation:
* should classify, label and package substances and mixtures according to CLP before placing them on the market;
* should notify the classification and labeling elements to the classification and labeling inventory established by ECHA before 3 Jan 2011(Urgent!!!!);
* should update the label following any change to the classification and labeling of that substance or mixture;
* should submit a proposal to the Competent Authority if new information which may lead the change of harmonized classification and labeling is available;
* shall provide Safety Data Sheets(SDS) along the supply chain and update SDS when necessary.
To comply with CLP, EU importers shall do the following four things:
* Chapter One: Classification
* Chapter Two: C& Notification
