Understanding EU 2023/707: New CLP Regulation and Its Impact on Chemical Products

/1 Comment/in /by

On April 20, 2023, the European Union enacted the new Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/707, introducing four new hazard classes to the Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulation. This significant update impacts chemical regulatory standards and compliance requirements across the EU.

New Hazard Classes Introduced

  1. Endocrine Disruptors for Human Health
  2. Endocrine Disruptors for the Environment
  3. Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) or Very Persistent/Very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) Chemicals
  4. Persistent, Mobile, and Toxic (PMT) or Very Persistent, Very Mobile (vPvM) Chemicals

These new classifications require corresponding EUH statements and precautionary statements on product labels for substances meeting the criteria.

Key Compliance Deadlines

For businesses placing chemical products on the EU market, compliance with Regulation (EU) 2023/707 necessitates updating Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and labels by the following dates:

  • May 1, 2025: New substances.
  • May 1, 2026: New mixtures.
  • November 1, 2026: Existing substances.
  • May 1, 2028: Existing mixtures.

Implications for Your Business

Adhering to the new CLP regulation is critical for maintaining market access and ensuring product safety. Failure to comply by the specified deadlines could result in enforcement actions, including market withdrawals and legal penalties.
