From memory anything that is classified as hazardous e.g. irritant under the CHIP regulations will therefore come under the CHIP regulations.

The concentration in a mixture is relevant to the application of CHIP. I'm sure the substance you refer to is commonly used in soaps, shampoos etc?

Yes it does. See

But as already stated if it's a product containing SDS/SLS, then it will not come under CHIP if the concentration is below a threshold.
