What are CLP Services?
To sell chemical products in the European market, companies must follow strict safety rules under the CLP Regulation (Classification, Labelling and Packaging). A mistake in classification or labelling can cause legal issues, fines, or damage your brand reputation.
CLP Services help businesses classify their chemicals correctly, create compliant labels, prepare Safety Data Sheets, and keep up with changing regulations, so you can confidently place your products on the EU market.
