HSE Seeks Feedback on Possible Changes to GB CLP Regulations
The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is inviting businesses involved in the chemical supply chain to provide feedback on potential changes to the Great Britain Classification, Labelling and Packaging (GB CLP) Regulation. The proposed revisions aim to align with international legislation and recent updates to the United Nations' Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UN GHS).
Key Areas for Feedback
The HSE is seeking feedback on key areas including notification processes, explosives not in transport configuration, ‘keep out of reach of children’ pictogram, relabelling, label formatting, chemicals under pressure and precautionary statements.
Survey Details and Participation
The survey is open to manufacturers, importers, downstream users and distributors in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, consumer groups and trade associations are excluded from the survey. The HSE encourages participants to take 10 -15 minutes to complete the survey, which closes on 18 September 2024. The survey can be found here.
Responses will help shape future GB CLP policy, impact assessments, and future consultations. Participation is voluntary, and all responses will remain anonymous. No information provided will be used for regulatory inspection purposes.
