Further information

If your business is affected by the GB CLP Regulation, please also consider if you are likely to be affected by the classification and labelling proposals and let us know at an early stage if you anticipate any significant impacts or benefits. 

Information on wider policy and impact considerations can be submitted to HSE at GBCLP.GBMCL@hse.gov.uk. 

Under the GB CLP Regulation, HSE will consider all published opinions of the Committee of Risk Assessment of ECHA (RAC) before publishing its own Agency Technical Reports and Agency Opinions, so any information you provide will be important in any final GB MCL decision.

More information on the new GB MCL system is available on the HSE website.
