This module presents the regulations on the classification, packaging and labeling of hazardous chemicals, which aim to ensure the protection of workers, consumers and the environment. Labeling constitutes the first source of information provided to the user concerning the dangers and the precautions to take when handling them. The CLP Regulation, a European text, establishes standards for the classification, labeling and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures.
