Classification, Labelling and Packaging
Understanding CLP
The Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation ((EC) No 1272/2008) is based on the United Nations’ Globally Harmonised System (GHS) and its purpose is to ensure a high level of protection of health and the environment, as well as the free movement of substances, mixtures and articles.
The CLP Regulation amended the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC (DSD)), the Dangerous Preparations Directive (1999/45/EC (DPD)) and Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH), and since 1 June 2015, is the only legislation in force in the EU for classification and labelling of substances and mixtures.
CLP is legally binding across the Member States and directly applicable to all industrial sectors. It requires manufacturers, importers or downstream users of substances or mixtures to classify, label and package their hazardous chemicals appropriately before placing them on the market.
One of the main aims of CLP is to determine whether a substance or mixture displays properties that lead to a hazardous classification. In this context, classification is the starting point for hazard communication.
When relevant information (e.g. toxicological data) on a substance or mixture meets the classification criteria in CLP, the hazards of a substance or mixture are identified by assigning a certain hazard class and category. The hazard classes in CLP cover physical, health, environmental and additional hazards.
Once a substance or mixture is classified, the identified hazards must be communicated to other actors in the supply chain, including consumers. Hazard labelling allows the hazard classification, with labels and safety data sheets, to be communicated to the user of a substance or mixture, to alert them about the presence of a hazard and the need to manage the associated risks.
CLP sets detailed criteria for the labelling elements: pictograms, signal words and standard statements for hazard, prevention, response, storage and disposal, for every hazard class and category. It also sets general packaging standards to ensure the safe supply of hazardous substances and mixtures. In addition to the communication of hazards through labelling requirements, CLP is also the basis for many legislative provisions on the risk management of chemicals.

from 422 reviewsPurchased as a gift for my daughter and she’s very happy. The refills are a great idea. The diffuser flowers are beautiful and can be reused a few times. So being able to purchase your favourite refill is brilliant!
Also purchased in the Black Friday sale with 40% off, which was an absolute bargain! 5/5 ⭐️

This has to be my favourite refill. The scent is just amazing. So fresh and fills the room with such a wonderful smell, which isn’t too overpowering either.
As always the free wax melt I received with my order (such a lovely gesture) smells amazing too.

Not my usual scent choice and was pleasantly surprised, it’s very nice!

Christmas in a melt! Smell is fantastic. Highly recommend.

The most beautiful subtle scent that fills the house, so christmassy I absolutely love it and so do all my family including my neurospicy daughter who gets very easily overwhelmed by strong smells.
The wooden wick has the most satisfying gentle crackle every so often, it's like a mini fire place.
Placed another order within hours of receiving my order!
Thank you lots :)

Wow. I received my order and was so please as to how it looked. The smell from the melts just hits you and I couldn’t wait to try them out. Well I wasn’t disappointed.
