One aspect that has generated significant attention among sector operators concerns the transitional provisions linked to the revision of the CLP Regulation. ECHA notes that some provisions introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 were intended to apply from July 1, 2026, with a transitional period until July 1, 2028 for substances and mixtures already on the market.
Subsequently, Regulation (EU) 2025/2439, published on December 3, 2025, mandated a further postponement of certain application dates, within the framework of an intervention aimed at reconsidering specific requirements, particularly those linked to certain labeling aspects.
It is important, however, to avoid a simplistic reading of this postponement. The deferral of some deadlines does not equate to a general suspension of the adaptation process. The CLP revision remains fully in force, and companies must continue to monitor the effects of the new provisions on product classification, labeling, and, consequently, on the accompanying technical documentation, including Safety Data Sheets.
