Your expert signs off EU and GB CLP

You get every mixture’s classification and label elements, the method agreed before any classifying starts, and the evidence behind each one.

Monitoring watches the measures behind your classifications. When one moves, Foresight rechecks the mixtures it affects, and your expert reviews the change.

Monitoring

Illustrative project

Watching 4 measures behind the classifications

  • Chemicals omnibus, procedure 2025/0531(COD)

    The political agreement of June 2026 drops obligatory font sizes on business-to-business shipments. Rechecked, no classification changes, and the 2028 sizes may not apply to Pellam’s trade packs once it’s adopted.

    Status: To review
  • Regulation (EU) 2024/2865, label formatting

  • Draft 24th ATP, EDTMP salts as Carc. 1B

  • Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/707, new hazard classes

What we need from you

Four things, shared at setup before the project starts.

  1. Your formulations

    Each mixture’s composition, with the concentration of every ingredient.

  2. Your ingredient data

    Safety data sheets for your raw materials, and any test data on the finished mixtures, such as pH.

  3. Your markets

    Where each mixture is sold, as the EU’s and GB’s rules now differ.

  4. Your approver

    The person who agrees the method and approves the classifications.

What teams ask about this project

How do you classify a mixture?

As CLP sets out. For most hazard classes, data on the mixture itself comes first, then bridging from similar tested mixtures, then the calculation and summation methods in Annex I. Those use harmonised entries where they exist and your suppliers’ data where they don’t. Where a rule overrides the sum, as pH does for a strong acid, the classification says so.

Where does the evidence come from?

From the rules themselves: Annex VI of CLP for harmonised classifications, GB’s mandatory classification and labelling list for Great Britain, and Annex I for the mixture rules. Your suppliers’ data covers the rest. Every classification links to its source, so your team can check the wording directly.

Does it cover Great Britain as well as the EU?

Yes. GB CLP keeps its own mandatory classification list, which now differs from the EU’s in places. In GB, d-limonene is Aquatic Chronic 1; in the EU, it’s Aquatic Chronic 3. So a cleaner with 0.4% of it needs H412 on its GB label only. GB CLP also has none of the EU’s new hazard classes for endocrine disruptors or PBT, vPvB, PMT and vPvM substances.

Who checks the classifications before we use them?

The person you name. They agree the method before any classifying starts, and check each classification against its sources at the end. Nothing is final until they approve it. These checks reduce the risk of error without removing it.

What happens when a rule changes?

Foresight rechecks the mixtures it affects. Any change that can move a classification or a label counts: a new harmonised entry, a decision on GB’s list, or the label rules in Regulation (EU) 2024/2865, whose font sizes and layout apply from 1 January 2028. The classifications your expert approved stay as they are until they accept the change.

What does it cost?

The price follows how many mixtures and markets the classifications cover. You see it with the scope, before any classifying starts.
