EU’s New CLP Regulation on Labeling Cause Concern  ข่าวโดย..Suwasri The European coatings industry entered this year in the final stages of a big exercise in the relabeling of its products to comply with a new European Union regulation on hazard warnings for mixtures of chemicals and other formulations. Although several years have elapsed since the regulation were first drafted, the industry still has a number of worries about their implementation. By mid-2015 all new coatings products and other mixtures like detergents and household and industrial cleaners will have to carry specific labels complying with the EU’s Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation By mid-2017 all coatings products on sale in the EU will have to bear the CLP labels with hazard symbols or pictograms different in appearance and in scope to those required by previous legislation.
