Chemical Compliance

Bringing a chemical product to market in the UK and EU requires compliance with REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006), the Classification, Labeling, and Packaging (CLP) Regulation, and Poison Centre Notification (PCN) requirements.

Our team ensures your chemicals meet all safety, labelling, and regulatory requirements, including UFI number generation, SDS creation, and compliant CLP labelling, so you can confidently launch while we handle compliance.

Comprehensive Chemical Compliance for Global Brands

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Generation

A compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is required for all hazardous substances and mixtures under UK and EU REACH regulations. We generate fully compliant SDSs in the correct 16-section format, ensuring:

Up-to-date regulatory compliance (UK REACH, EU REACH, and CLP)

Accurate hazard classifications

Chemical composition and exposure control data

CLP-Compliant Labeling

Under the Classification, Labeling, and Packaging (CLP) Regulation, chemical products must carry clear hazard labels that align with the latest GHS (Globally Harmonized System) requirements. We ensure your labels include:

Correct hazard pictograms, signal words, and H & P statements

Legal formatting & language requirements for the UK and EU

UFI codes & emergency contact details (where required)

REACH Compliance & Chemical Registration

Certain substances may require REACH registration, depending on volume and intended use. We assess your product’s REACH obligations and handle:

Pre-registration & full registration processes

Only Representative (OR) services for non-UK/non-EU companies

SDS alignment with REACH compliance standards

UK & EU Legal Representation for Non-Domestic Brands

If your company is not legally established in the UK or EU, you must appoint an Only Representative (OR) or Responsible Person (RP) to ensure compliance. We provide:

Legal representation for chemical compliance obligations

Handling of regulatory communications & enforcement actions

Ensuring full market access under UK & EU chemical laws

What Do You Need to Become Compliant in the UK and EU?

Requirement What It Means Why It Matters
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Generation A 16-section Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is legally required for all hazardous chemicals under UK REACH & EU REACH regulations. Non-compliant or missing SDSs can lead to legal penalties, product recalls, or restricted sales.
UFI & Poison Centre Notifications (PCN) Hazardous mixtures must be registered with Poison Centres (PCN) and assigned a Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) under Annex VIII of the CLP Regulation. Failure to register with PCN or include a UFI can result in fines, product bans, or enforcement actions.
CLP-Compliant Labeling Hazardous chemicals must display correct hazard symbols, signal words, and H & P statements under the CLP Regulation. Incorrect labeling can lead to regulatory fines, product withdrawal, or supply chain rejections.
REACH Compliance & Chemical Registration Certain chemicals require REACH registration depending on tonnage and intended use. Non-EU/UK companies must appoint an Only Representative (OR). Failure to register substances correctly can block market access or lead to legal enforcement.
UK & EU Legal Representation Non-UK/EU brands must appoint an **Only Representative (OR)** or **Responsible Person (RP)** to handle compliance and regulatory submissions. Without an OR/RP, your chemicals cannot be legally sold in the UK or EU.
