CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE CLP REGULATION
What does the “stop-the-clock” provision mean for companies?
The European Union has officially postponed the application of several new requirements of the CLP Regulation (EU Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of chemicals). This decision – often referred to as the “stop-the-clock” provision – provides valuable additional time to adapt labelling processes to the upcoming changes.
For companies, this means greater planning certainty, a lower risk of compliance violations, and the opportunity to work towards the new obligations in a structured manner. At AEROCHEMICA, we are using the extended transition period strategically as a head start – not as a pause.
What does the postponement of the CLP requirements mean in concrete terms for you?
The European Commission is responding to the significant need for adjustment within the economy by granting this extension. The upcoming CLP changes affect, among other things:
- new hazard classes
- revised classification rules
- an update of the labelling requirements
- transition periods for products already placed on the market
Companies therefore gain more time to implement technical, legal and organisational adjustments – without rushed changes or operational risks.
How AEROCHEMICA uses the extended deadline to your advantage
As a long-standing producer and contract filler for aerosols, we focus on clear priorities: legal certainty, efficiency and customer support. The postponement under the “stop-the-clock” provision gives us additional flexibility – and our customers a strategic advantage.
