CLP EC 1272/2008: new hazard classes apply to mixtures from 2026-05-01 — mixtures already on the market, 2028-05-01.
EU CLP 2026: the mixture dates
that apply now, and the one still ahead
Under CLP EC 1272/2008, four new hazard classes apply to mixtures from 2026-05-01, and new labelling-format and online-sales rules apply from 2026-07-01. Mixtures already on the market before 2026-05-01 must be reclassified and relabelled by 2028-05-01. ChemEngine Datatools returns a draft EU-format SDS in under 60 seconds, for professional review.
The regulation
What changed for mixtures in 2026
Two instruments amend CLP EC 1272/2008 on dates that concern mixtures. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/707 added four new hazard classes to CLP Annex I. Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 revised the labelling and advertising rules, and its application dates were rescheduled by Regulation (EU) 2025/2439.

Scope
Who these dates apply to
Any company placing hazardous mixtures on the EU market is in scope, whether the mixture is made in Europe or imported. New mixtures follow 2026-05-01, and mixtures already on the market follow 2028-05-01.
EU Manufacturers & Formulators
Companies that produce chemical mixtures — cleaning products, coatings, adhesives, lubricants, cosmetic formulas — for EU sale must reclassify and update all SDS documents.
Importers into the EU
Any business importing hazardous mixtures into the EU market bears CLP compliance responsibility. Non-EU manufacturers cannot place products on the EU market without a compliant importer.
Distributors & Resellers
Distributors who repackage or relabel mixtures must ensure CLP labels and SDS are compliant before redistribution. Passing on non-compliant documentation from suppliers creates liability.
Consumer Product Brands
Household cleaners, personal care, DIY, and professional-use products classified as hazardous mixtures under CLP must have updated labels and SDS — including UFI codes.
Industrial Chemical Suppliers
Suppliers of industrial intermediates, process chemicals, and specialty chemicals to EU customers must provide a CLP-compliant SDS per REACH Article 31 with each supply.
Online & Cross-Border Sellers
E-commerce sellers offering hazardous mixtures to EU buyers — regardless of physical location — must comply with CLP labelling and SDS requirements per EU distance-sales rules.
Key compliance requirements
A hazardous mixture placed on the EU market from 2026-05-01 needs these documents correct on the day it is placed:
SDS Section 2 — Classification
Must state the full CLP classification of the mixture: hazard class, category, H-statements, and signal word. Must match the label exactly.
SDS Section 3 — Composition
Hazardous ingredients above concentration limits must be disclosed with CAS/EC numbers, CLP classification, and concentration ranges.
CLP-Compliant Label
Hazard pictograms, signal word, hazard statements, precautionary statements, UFI code, and supplier identification — all per CLP Annex II.
UFI Code (Unique Formula Identifier)
Mandatory for hazardous mixtures placed on the EU market. UFI must appear on label and SDS, linked to the ECHA Poison Centres Notification.
What the dates require: mixtures placed on the EU market from 2026-05-01 are classified under the four new CLP Annex I hazard classes. Labels must meet the revised formatting and legibility rules from 2026-07-01. Mixtures already on the market before 2026-05-01 must be reclassified and relabelled by 2028-05-01.
