Implementing CLP-compliant labeling in a legally compliant and structured manner: challenges, risks, and digital solutions

In the chemical industry, the correct labeling of products is not only a legal requirement, but also a crucial factor for safety and efficiency. With ChemLabel Suite, Kleen Software offers an innovative platform that simplifies and automates the entire labeling process.

 

The challenge: complex labeling regulations

The creation of labels for chemical products requires compliance with numerous regulations, in particular the CLP Regulation (Classification, Labeling, and Packaging). Incorrect or incomplete labels can lead to legal consequences and safety risks. In addition, labels often have to be available in multiple languages and formats, which further complicates the process.

Companies must adapt to stricter requirements, including:

  • Introduction of new hazard classes
  • Mandatory minimum font sizes and pictogram sizes
  • Requirements for label layouts, background colors, and fonts
  • Digital labeling options as a supplementary requirement

These changes are forcing many companies to fundamentally rethink their existing processes – especially if they have not yet implemented suitable tools. Without automation, not only do the time and cost involved increase, but so does the risk of legal consequences.

 

Our solution: ChemLabel Suite

ChemLabel Suite is a comprehensive software solution developed specifically for the requirements of the chemical industry. It enables the easy creation of CLP-compliant labels, booklets, and fold-outs using an integrated label editor. Both legally required information and marketing texts can be flexibly integrated.

 

Technological basics and functionality

1. Integrated label editor

The user-friendly editor allows you to design customized, multilingual labels. In addition to mandatory information, you can also insert marketing texts, EAN/QR codes, or customer-specific information. Even multi-page booklets and fold-outs can be easily created.

2. Central data management

All relevant data is managed centrally so that it is accessible and up to date for all users. Role-based permissions allow access to specific information to be controlled.

3. Compliance checker

An integrated compliance checker ensures that all labels comply with legal requirements. It checks font sizes, pictograms, and other mandatory information in accordance with the CLP Regulation.

4. Interface integration

The ChemLabel Suite can be easily connected to other systems such as SAP or ChemGes. This enables efficient data exchange and reduces manual effort.​

5. On-Demand Printing System

The software can be used flexibly via a web browser or as a server solution. Labels can be printed directly as needed—whether in the office, in the warehouse, or in production. Preprinted labels and warehousing are no longer necessary.

 

Additional features
