¹ Man­u­fac­tur­ers mak­ing avail­able or sup­ply­ing dan­ger­ous sub­stances or pre­par­a­tions to third parties must la­bel them in ac­cord­ance with the fol­low­ing pro­vi­sions:

a.

Art­icle 17 para­graph 1, Art­icle 18 with the ex­cep­tion of the last sen­tence of para­graph 2, Art­icles 19–23, Art­icle 25 para­graphs 1, 3 and 4, Art­icles 26–28, Art­icle 29 para­graphs 1–4, Art­icle 31 and Art­icle 32 para­graphs 1–5 of the CLP Reg­u­la­tion³⁶;

b.

the spe­cif­ic rules for la­belling of out­er pack­aging, in­ner pack­aging and single pack­aging set out in Art­icle 33 of the CLP Reg­u­la­tion.

² Pre­par­a­tions with par­tic­u­lar haz­ards re­ferred to in Art­icle 4 para­graph 7 of the CLP Reg­u­la­tion must ad­di­tion­ally be la­belled in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 25 para­graph 6 of the CLP Reg­u­la­tion.

³ In ad­di­tion to para­graphs 1 and 2, the la­belling must meet the fol­low­ing re­quire­ments:

a.

The name, ad­dress and tele­phone num­ber of the man­u­fac­turer are to be in­cluded.

b.

The la­belling must be in at least two of­fi­cial lan­guages; with the agree­ment of in­di­vidu­al pro­fes­sion­al users, a sub­stance or a pre­par­a­tion for sup­ply to these users may be la­belled in only one of­fi­cial lan­guage or in Eng­lish.

c.

Where la­belling is in lan­guages oth­er than those re­quired un­der let­ter b, all in­form­a­tion shall be giv­en in all lan­guages used.³⁷

^3bis In the case of sub­stances or pre­par­a­tions im­por­ted from a mem­ber state of the European Eco­nom­ic Area (EEA), the man­u­fac­turer’s name may be re­placed on the la­belling by the name of the per­son re­spons­ible for pla­cing on the mar­ket in the EEA, if the sub­stances or pre­par­a­tions:

a.

are not in­ten­ded for dis­tri­bu­tion to private users; or

b.

are sup­plied to private users, are con­tained in an in­ner pack­aging in por­tions of no more than 125ml or g and are marked on the out­er pack­aging with the name, ad­dress and tele­phone num­ber of the man­u­fac­turer.³⁸

⁴ If fur­ther la­bel ele­ments are re­quired in or­der to com­ply with oth­er le­gis­la­tion, these are to be in­cluded in the sec­tion for sup­ple­ment­al in­form­a­tion in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 25 of the CLP Reg­u­la­tion.

⁵ Where the name in the IUPAC no­men­clature³⁹ ex­ceeds 100 char­ac­ters, an­oth­er name may be used, provided that the re­port in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 49 in­cludes both the name giv­en in the IUPAC no­men­clature and the oth­er name used.

⁶ The re­quire­ments of para­graph 1 are deemed to have been met if the in­ner pack­aging is la­belled be­fore the ap­plic­a­tion of or im­me­di­ately after the re­mov­al of the trans­port pack­aging. Re­spons­ib­il­ity for pack­aging and la­belling rests with the man­u­fac­turer.
