Substance : determining the classification

As a manufacturer, importer or distributor of a chemical substance, you are required by the CLP Regulation to propose a CLP classification for this substance. What are the main steps involved?

Classification enables the hazards associated with a substance to be identified and communicated. It is therefore important to establish it for the substances you use or place on the market.

• What documents will you use as a basis?

• What are the hazard classes to be identified and the criteria to be used for classification?

• Are there any special cases?
