UK REACH substance screening GB CLP classification and labelling COSHH risk assessment support

Since Brexit, Great Britain runs its own chemical regime alongside the EU. UK REACH mirrors EU REACH but requires separate registration with the HSE for chemicals placed on the GB market, while GB CLP governs classification, labelling, and packaging for Great Britain. In the workplace, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) require employers to assess and control exposure to hazardous substances. NextSDS gives UK operators one platform to keep safety data sheets validated, screen substances for UK REACH, produce GB CLP labels, and support COSHH assessments, including for businesses that also sell into the EU.

Key Regulations

Which regulations apply in the UK?

UK REACH

The post-Brexit chemical regulation for Great Britain. Similar to EU REACH but with separate HSE registration for GB market access. NextSDS screens your substances and flags where a separate GB registration is needed.

GB CLP

The Great Britain classification, labelling and packaging rules administered by the HSE. NextSDS validates SDS classifications and generates GB CLP labels with the correct pictograms, signal words, and H and P statements.

COSHH 2002

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations mandate risk assessments, control measures, and health surveillance. NextSDS supplies current hazard data and safety cards to support each assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How does UK REACH differ from EU REACH?

After Brexit, Great Britain operates its own UK REACH regime, separate from EU REACH. Chemicals placed on the GB market need registration with the HSE rather than ECHA, and the two systems maintain their own inventories and deadlines. NextSDS screens your substances against UK REACH obligations and helps you track where a chemical needs a separate GB registration for market access.

What is GB CLP and how does NextSDS support it?

GB CLP is the Great Britain version of the classification, labelling and packaging rules that continue after Brexit, administered by the HSE. NextSDS validates your safety data sheets against GB CLP classifications and generates compliant labels with the correct pictograms, signal words, and hazard and precautionary statements for the GB market.

Does NextSDS help with COSHH assessments?

Yes. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) require employers to assess and control exposure to hazardous substances. NextSDS gives you a current SDS for every product, supports risk assessment with hazard data, and generates simplified safety cards so workers have clear handling and PPE guidance at the point of use.

Can NextSDS manage both UK and EU compliance together?

Yes. Many businesses place products on both the GB and EU markets and must satisfy UK REACH and GB CLP alongside EU REACH and CLP. NextSDS manages parallel documentation and screening for both regimes from one platform, so you can keep GB and EU obligations aligned without duplicating work.
