EU’s Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulations (known as CLP).

CLP (European Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures) actually came into force in 2009 (January) in all EU Member States, which also includes the UK. It was agreed by the EUL (European Union Level) that as from the 1st June 2015 these rules would apply including the UK. EN15494 provides some standardized fire safety warnings that most manufacturers choose to include, communicating perhaps the greatest risk posed by a candle. CLP only applies to Home Fragrancing Products (Not – Cosmetics) which are classed under separate rules. CLP effects the following Products:- Reed Diffusers, Wax Melts, Scented Sachets, Room Spray, Candle etc. (Including any other products that may fall in to this category) Many fragrances ingredients, are known eye/skin irritants, skin sensitizers or are environmentally hazardous substances, if present at concentrations above the cut-off values listed in section 16 on the MSDS, they trigger health or environmental warning statements and/or pictograms which should then be clearly stated on any labelling/packaging.

Small Packaging Exemptions

CLP provides certain exemptions for substances and mixtures contained in packaging that is small (typically less than 125ml) or is otherwise difficult to label. The exemptions allow the supplier to omit the hazard and/or precautionary statements or the pictograms from the label elements normally required under CLP. Please Note:- The information provided is based on our understanding of the New CLP Legislation so far. We have tried to simplify as much as we can for your understanding, we will continue to update, as we gain further in-depth information on any additional requirements.

CLP Labelling Technical Support

We are fully equipped with upto date CLP software that has enabled us to provide all necessary information regarding labelling requirements that conform to the new CLP regulations. All relevant information is available to download direct from the website, which will also include standard Product Labelling information for the following products: Candles based @ max 10% ratio and Reed Diffusers @ max 20% ratio formulation including the SDS for the finished product and the SDS, IFRA & Allergen Declarations for the fragrance oil. Please Note: The information will be provided in good faith and is to the best of our current knowledge but may be subject to change. Furthermore, it only represents the CLP contribution of the fragrance components and does not take into consideration any other ingredients that may be contained within the final product. The ultimate responsibility for the classification and labelling of the final product lies with the person placing it on the market. We recommend that this is determined using the information contained within the SDS of the neat fragrance in conjunction with that of the other ingredients within the final product.
