The notification is required within one month after placing the substance on the market.al health and safety, petroleum product stewardship and cross-country pipeline performance.

Hazardous substances already REACH registered by the same Legal Entity do not need a CLP notification. This obligation is then covered by the Lead Registrant in the joint registration submission.

The notification is required in a specified format. In practice, companies can make their notification either online via REACH-IT or in IUCLID format (for more complex cases, like several compositions for one substance).

CLP notifications need to be updated according to the latest legislation developments (ATPs to CLP).
