The CLP Regulation[1] (for "Classification, Labelling and Packaging"[2]) is a European Union regulation from 2008, which aligns the European Union system of classification, labelling and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures to the Globally Harmonised System (GHS). It is expected to facilitate global trade and the harmonised communication of hazard information of chemicals and to promote regulatory efficiency. It complements the 2006 Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation (EC No 1907/2006)[3] and replaces an older system contained in the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC)[4] and the Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EC).[5]
