Do you distribute chemicals that you source from within the EU?

Companies who source substances or mixtures from within the EU (including Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Northern Ireland) are not considered as importers under chemical legislation, but are considered ‘distributors’.

 

Have you checked the hazard labelling and the packaging of the chemicals?

Distributors that only sell or distribute hazardous substances or mixtures must ensure that they are labelled and packaged in accordance with CLP, including ensuring that EU-based supplier details are on the label.

Have you ensured that any relevant safety data sheets have been provided to your customers?

Safety data sheets must be provided to all customers including professional users upon first delivery and following any updates. The safety data sheet must be up-to-date, in the correct 16 heading format and in the English language for the Irish market.
