Statute overview

About this statute

This Regulation sets EU rules for classifying, labelling, and packaging hazardous substances and mixtures, and requires certain actors to notify the Agency. This provision defines several classification terms and sets core rules for classifying, labelling, packaging, testing, and updating hazardous substances and mixtures. This provision sets out how substances can be proposed for harmonised classification and labelling, and who must notify, report, keep records, or enforce the rules. A supplier must give a safety data sheet on request in certain non-hazard-classified mixtures that contain specified hazardous substances above set concentration thresholds. This text sets classification rules for hazardous substances and mixtures, including explosive, flammable, oxidising, self-reactive, pyrophoric, and self-heating categories.
