CLP label elements checklist
CLP Art. 17 label elements: supplier, quantity, identifiers, pictograms, signal word, statements
Direct answer. Under CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Art. 17 a hazard label carries the supplier’s name, address and telephone number; the nominal quantity of the substance or mixture in the package made available to the general public; product identifiers; hazard pictograms; a signal word; hazard statements; precautionary statements; and supplemental information where applicable. Read Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on EUR-Lex. This page is not legal advice.
CLPLens: CLP Hazard Display (Shopify App Store · Write a review) creates product hazard profiles with GHS pictograms and statements, reviews missing hazard fields before publishing, and syncs app-owned metafields for theme-block storefront display. It does not classify mixtures or decide legal compliance. This page is the Art. 17 label-element checklist — not the product-page pictogram job and not classification.

Free check first: CLP label element checker runs in your browser and sends nothing. Paste CLP label text and see which Article 17 label elements it mentions or lacks.
The Art. 17 set on the pack
Art. 17 lists the elements a classified substance or mixture in packaging must show on the label. Confirm the live article on EUR-Lex; this list is a reading aid, not a determination that any pack is lawful.
- Name, address and telephone number of the supplier
- Nominal quantity of the substance or mixture in the package made available to the general public (unless that quantity is specified elsewhere on the package)
- Product identifiers (Art. 18)
- Hazard pictograms, where applicable (Art. 19)
- Signal word, where applicable (Art. 20)
- Hazard statements, where applicable (Art. 21)
- Precautionary statements, where applicable (Art. 22)
- A section for supplemental information, where applicable (Art. 25)
Which of those items apply to a given SKU follows from its classification and from the rest of CLP, not from this checklist. A reading aid such as the CLP label element checker can only flag words and codes in pasted text; it cannot classify the mixture.
Formatting and legibility after Regulation (EU) 2024/2865
Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 revised CLP formatting and legibility rules for labels. Check the current text of that regulation and of CLP as amended; this page does not invent application dates. Font size, layout, fold-out labels, and related presentation rules sit in the live articles and annexes, not in this paraphrase.
The pack label is not the same job as the product-page block
Art. 17 is the on-pack label set. Showing hazard pictograms and statements on a distance-sale product page is a related but separate surface. Walk that job on CLP hazard pictograms on the product page. CLPLens stores the hazard profile you enter and displays it on the product page; it does not write the pack label or classify the mixture. Open the CLPLens: CLP Hazard Display listing when you want that storefront path.
What this page is not
- Not legal advice, a classification service, or a compliance certification.
- Not a substitute for the live CLP text, including formatting and legibility rules as amended.
- Not the product-page pictogram-and-statement job. That URL is CLP hazard pictograms on the product page.
- Not a California Prop 65 warning. That job is 2028 product-page short-form warnings.
- Not EU food allergen labelling. That path is allergen info before purchase.
