Digital label

Explained

Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 added the digital label to the CLP Regulation. In addition to the physical label, the label elements may be provided in digital form (Art. 34a), and a data carrier on the physical label or next to it leads there. Articles 34a and 34b have applied since 1 July 2026. The physical label stays: only the supplementary information under Annex I, section 1.6, may appear on the digital label alone. Article 34b sets the conditions: all elements in one place, searchable, accessible across the EU for at least ten years, free of charge, without registration, app or password, and without tracking beyond what is strictly necessary. The digital label is for users; it does not replace the safety data sheet for professional recipients.
