CLP classification and GHS labelling REACH SVHC and restriction screening Seveso III and ADR support

Placing chemicals on the European market means satisfying several overlapping frameworks at once. The CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 governs how substances and mixtures are classified, labelled, and packaged, while REACH (EC) No 1907/2006 controls registration, evaluation, and authorisation of the substances themselves. Sites holding larger quantities fall under the Seveso III Directive (2012/18/EU), and moving products by road brings ADR transport rules into play. NextSDS gives EU operators one platform to keep safety data sheets validated, screen substances against the latest REACH lists, and produce compliant labels in the languages each member state requires.

Key Regulations

Which regulations apply in the EU?

CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

Classification, labelling, and packaging of substances and mixtures. NextSDS validates hazard classifications and generates GHS labels with the correct pictograms, signal words, and H and P statements, tracking each ATP update.

REACH (EC) No 1907/2006

Registration, evaluation, authorisation, and restriction of chemicals. Substances are screened against the SVHC Candidate List and Annexes XIV and XVII, with alerts the moment a chemical you use is added or restricted.

Seveso III (2012/18/EU) & ADR

Control of major accident hazards and dangerous goods transport. NextSDS aggregates hazardous quantities across your sites for Seveso tier assessment and surfaces ADR transport classification straight from your SDS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers! The essential info about making chemical safety simple and accessible.

How does NextSDS help with CLP compliance in the EU?

NextSDS keeps your classification, labelling and packaging aligned with the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. The platform validates every safety data sheet against the current CLP rules, tracks Adaptation to Technical Progress (ATP) updates that change hazard classifications, and generates compliant GHS labels with the correct pictograms, signal words, and hazard and precautionary statements.

Can NextSDS screen substances against REACH?

Yes. Every substance in your inventory is screened against REACH (EC 1907/2006), including the Candidate List of SVHCs, Authorisation List (Annex XIV), and Restriction List (Annex XVII). You receive alerts when a substance you use is added to these lists or faces new restrictions, giving you time to reformulate or source alternatives before deadlines hit.

Does NextSDS cover Seveso III and dangerous goods transport?

NextSDS aggregates the hazardous substances across your sites so you can assess your standing against the Seveso III Directive (2012/18/EU) thresholds for lower and upper tier establishments. Transport classification data from your safety data sheets also supports ADR dangerous goods documentation for road transport within Europe.

Which EU languages and member states are supported?

The EU requires safety data sheets and labels in the official language(s) of each member state where a product is placed on the market. NextSDS manages multilingual SDS versions per product and per location, so a chemical sold in Belgium, Germany, and France carries the correct documentation for each market.
