Issued: 15 June 2021

HSE is continually reviewing guidance on regulations affecting the chemicals industry.

Read below for more details on Classification, labelling and packaging of substances and chemicals (CLP) and Export and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (GB PIC).

Classification, labelling and packaging of chemicals

Chemicals placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) are regulated by the GB Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation, known as GB CLP.

HSE is the GB CLP Agency and carries out certain CLP functions that were formerly undertaken by the European chemicals agency (ECHA).

Our CLP website contains guidance on how to comply with the GB CLP Regulation.

Export and import of hazardous chemicals (GB PIC)

The Great Britain Export and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Regulation (GB PIC) applies in England, Scotland and Wales.

Businesses exporting or importing PIC-listed chemicals from or to Great Britain are required to comply with the GB PIC regime.

Visit our website for more information on the GB PIC Regulation.
