EU: CLP hazard labels get minimum font sizes
Applies: · Last checked: 4 November 2026
The CLP revision (in force since 10 December 2024) sets a minimum font size by pack volume, line spacing and a set label format for hazard labels on chemicals. Regulation (EU) 2025/2439, published on 3 December 2025, moved these format rules from 1 July 2026 to 1 January 2028. Digital labelling of some information stays allowed. Check new artwork for detergents, paints and other mixtures against the size table now.
