When Brexit was enacted and the UK left the EU on January 31, 2020, it took certain regulations that were in force and wrote them directly into GB regulations. From that point forward, Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) began adhering to the GB Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Chemicals Regulation (GB CLP). However, the Northern Ireland agreement means that European Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (EU CLP) is still required in Northern Ireland. It should be noted that any updates to EU CLP that took place after January 31, 2020, do not apply to GB CLP.
