What is Harmonised Classification and Labelling (CLH)?


Manufacturers, importers or downstream users have to (self)classify and label hazardous substances and mixtures to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment.

For hazards of highest concern (carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity (CMR) and respiratory sensitisers) and for other substances on a case-by-case basis, classification and labelling should be harmonised throughout the EU to ensure an adequate risk management. This is done through harmonised classification and labelling (CLH).

Harmonised classifications are listed in Annex VI to the EU CLP Regulation and should be applied by all manufacturers, importers or downstream users of such substances and of mixtures containing such substances.

What Should Companies Do?


Companies with an interest in the proposals are strongly encouraged to share any relevant information. Scientific and technical information should be submitted directly to ECHA using their commenting webform by 2 September 2022. Comments will be published on ECHA’s website.
