The 13^th ATP of CLP

On October 5^th 2018, Regulation (UE) n. 2018/1480 has been published on the Official Journal of the European Union

The name “13^th ATP” is a common naming standard and it is not how the European Commission defines its CLP updates through Regulations. The regulation n. 2018/1480 in fact was published before the 12th ATP, while this latter regulation was published on the Official Journal only on March 28^th 2019 and will align the CLP criteria with the 6^th and 7^th editions of the UN GHS.

The 13 ^th ATP updates Annex VI of the regulation 1272/2008 (CLP) by adding 16 new harmonised classifications and by modifying the classification of 18 substances already included in Annex VI. Many of these substances are widely used in the chemical industry, like Sodium hypochlorite and Salicylic acid.

13^th ATP, when does it apply?

The 13^th ATP came into force on May 1st 2020. This regulation is mandatory in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States with no derogation period
