Guidance for identification and naming of substances under REACH and CLP / Draft version 3.0 - October 2023 

ID 20628 | 20.10.2023 

Draft Guidance for identification and naming of substances under REACH and CLP sent for CARACAL consultation

The REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) sets up a system for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals and established the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to implement the Regulation.

The CLP Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) is the new European Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of chemical substances and mixtures.

The legislation introduces, throughout the EU, a new system for classifying and labelling chemicals, based on the United Nations’ Globally Harmonised System (UN GHS).

The REACH Regulation focuses on substances. To ensure that the REACH processes are working properly, correct and unambiguous substance identification is essential. This guidance document on substance identification and naming is intended to support industry, Member States and the European Chemicals Agency. 

This guidance document is based on experience with substance identification under the previous chemical legislation (Directive 67/548/EEC and Directive 98/8/EEC). However, current practices in relation to substance identity under the REACH Regulation and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures Regulation (CLP) form the basis for the refinement of this guidance.

In addition, and where appropriate, approaches from other chemical schemes outside the European Union have also been taken into consideration. 

Tailored guidance for different types of substances has been included. 

This guidance document should be applied to identify and name substances which are regulated under the REACH and CLP Regulation.
