CLP labels

We design hazard labels under the CLP Regulation with pictograms, signal word, hazard and precautionary statements and UFI, in the languages of all your target markets, as print files or as a database. Hazardous products may only be sold in the EU with a CLP label.

What must appear on the label?

If a substance or mixture is classified as hazardous under CLP, its packaging needs a hazard label (Article 17 CLP). This is an EU requirement for selling. The label includes, among other things:

  • name, address and telephone number of the supplier
  • nominal quantity (when sold to the general public)
  • product identifier, for mixtures with the substances relevant for classification
  • hazard pictograms, signal word, hazard statements and precautionary statements
  • supplemental information (e.g. EUH statements) and the UFI

The label must be in the official language of the country where the product is sold. Multilingual labels are possible if all information is complete in every language.

What we do for you

Service Result
Derive label content from the SDS checked list of all mandatory elements
Label design print file as PDF or vector graphic
Multilingual versions all languages of your target countries
Check of existing labels list of deficiencies with proposed corrections
Label data for your software Excel, CSV or Access database (.accdb)

Label data instead of finished labels

Do you print your labels yourself, e.g. with BarTender, NiceLabel or other label software? Then we deliver the content as a database: product name, pictograms, signal word, hazard and precautionary statements in all languages and the UFI. Your software reads the data directly; no retyping.

  • .accdb: Microsoft Access database, can be connected directly to common label software
  • .xlsx / .csv: tables for ERP, online shop or your own systems

Detergents and cleaning products: information under the Detergents Regulation

For detergents and cleaning products the CLP label alone is not enough. The Detergents Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 additionally requires an ingredient declaration on the packaging (Annex VII A), even if the product is not classified as hazardous. A few examples:

  • Surfactants by type: anionic, non-ionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants are listed separately if present above 0.2 %, together with a weight range, such as “less than 5 %” or “5 % or over but less than 15 %”.
  • Other groups such as phosphates, bleaching agents, soap or zeolites follow the same rule.
  • Preservatives, perfumes, enzymes, disinfectants and optical brighteners are listed regardless of their quantity, preservatives if possible with their INCI name.
  • Allergenic fragrances are named individually from 0.01 %, for example limonene or linalool.
  • In addition, the website address where the full ingredient list can be found.

We compile this information from your formula and align it with the CLP label, so that nothing appears twice or contradicts itself on the packaging. The new Detergents Regulation (EU) 2026/405 replaces the current one on 23 September 2029; we take the change into account for new labels.

Do not forget the packaging

For certain hazardous mixtures supplied to consumers, the CLP Regulation also requires child-resistant fastenings and tactile warnings of danger (Article 35 and Annex II Part 3). We check this at the same time.
