4. What regulatory impact can the classification of a substance have?

Classification is also a tool for identifying hazardous chemicals in a number of downstream regulations. They rely on the existence of a classification to define the substances and mixtures concerned by the regulatory prevention measures they set.

The main downstream regulations referring to a classification and their potential consequences are listed in the CLP downstream regulations tool [FIC DTOU11198] .

For example, in the context of worker protection, the chemical risk assessment carried out at the workstation must take into account classified chemicals handled.
