About REACH

The European Union’s classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) regulation changed the way that chemical hazards are communicated. The pictograms referring to health and physical hazards have changed, including the introduction of three brand new ones, and there have been some changes to classification and labelling. The new rules gradually have to be implemented in all EU Member States. For more information, visit the EU-OSHA web section on CLP and the CLP section of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
