Publication of GB mandatory classification and labelling (GB MCL) Agency Opinions
A GB MCL Agency Opinion formally proposes the GB mandatory classification and labelling for chemical substances, based on the scientific and technical assessment of the scientific data in line with the GB CLP Regulation, together with an assessment of the policy and socio-economic impacts on the UK.
It sets out whether there is adequate scientific evidence to support a new or revised GB MCL of a substance and what the potential impact of the proposed GB MCL may be.
The next batch of 7 GB MCL Agency Opinions are now available for download in the GB MCL publication table (.xlsx).
These GB MCL Agency Opinions relate to substances for which HSE (as the GB CLP Agency) published an Agency Technical Report under Article 37 of the GB CLP Regulation in May 2023.
At the time of publication, the classification and labelling proposed in this Agency Opinion has not been agreed and/or adopted in GB.
For information on the next steps in the process, please see our webpage on the GB MCL system.
We expect to publish our next batch of Agency Opinions in August 2024. CLP ebulletin alerts will be issued when Agency Opinions are published on the HSE website.

GB MCL decision and updated GB MCL list (published 26 June 2024)
The Minister for Lords (MfL), with the consent of Scottish and Welsh Ministers, has made a decision with regards to the Great Britain Mandatory Classification and Labelling (GB MCL) of 88 chemical substances from the 14th and 15th EU Adaptations to Progress (EU ATPs).
The decision gives legal effect to the entries for these 88 substances in the GB MCL list (.xslx) under Article 37 of the GB CLP Regulation.
The Ministerial decision, with consent from the Devolved Governments, made under Article 37 of the GB CLP Regulation, is an administrative process of updating the GB MCL list. A consolidated summary of these 88 GB MCLs is now available in the GB CLP publication table (.xslx), together with the entry into force date (26 June 2024) and the compliance date (26 June 2024).
The reason for the decision was to give legal effect to entries in the GB MCL list that were not retained/assimilated into GB law, following the exit of the UK from the European Union in 2020 and the end of the implementation period on 31 December 2020.
More information on the GB MCL system is available on the HSE website.
