At Alan Northrop Label Printers we provide hazardous chemical labels to ensure you meet your legal requirements, avoid fines and ensure the safety of your customers, employees and public.
Hazardous Chemical labels now have to comply with the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals created by the United Nations.
The CLP Regulation (European Regulation on Classification, Labeling and Packaging of substances and mixtures) was created by The European Commission to adopt this new hazardous chemical labels system. The regulation came into force on the 20th January 2009 and must now be applied to all EU member states, including the UK.
CLP hazardous chemical labels have been created to replace the various classifications and labeling standards that currently exist in different countries. The main objectives are to facilitate international trade in chemicals and to maintain the existing level of protection of human health and environment.
New pictograms for hazardous chemical labels, with a white background, are replacing the orange ones in the EU. Make sure you learn what the labels mean and read the instructions to ensure safe use. Information on the CLP hazardous chemical labels pictograms and on the label is available on the European Chemical Agency website:

All our hazardous chemical labels are produced on a PP (Polypropylene) material. The base material used conforms with B.S 5609:1986 which is perfect for transport by Road, Rail, Air and Sea.
Our hazardous chemical labels fully comply with the ADR, RID, IMDG & IATA requirements. Some labels can be produced in a format suitable for automatic application and over print.
