Hi,
I wonder if any member of the forum is able to give me some advice please.
Is the requirement for labelling of potentially harmful cleaning chemicals (those carrying a hazard symbal either under CHIP or CLP), the same for domestic cleaning products?
For example would a bottle of a floor cleaning product which could be corrosive have to carry the relevant symbol(s)?
Many thanks for any advice.

if the substance is hazardous then you'll find that any domestic cleaning product carries the appropriate symbol

The short answer is yes, however I suspect there are areas of poor compliance here and there with some of these domestic products.

And if you do have a concern about a product on the supermarket shelf, you should contact your local Trading Standards office, who have enforcement responsibilities.

The CHIP regulations apply to importing exporting paking information signage and production of chemicals ect...we have moved to a supplier of low non hazardous substances for all our cleaning products

Reading between the lines here, but are you asking if products which a typical domestic customer would have access to, say in your local supermarket, be safer than others, i.e. those used in the workplace.
The answer is a simple no, but if you are looking for a less hazardous alternate you need to do a proper COSHH assessment and understand where and how the product may be used. It's not simply a case of choosing to use a less harmful product if for example it takes twice as long to use, else you may unwittingly double the exposure of the user.

Also due to the convulution of CLP Regs you will find that not all domestic cleaning materials will display hazard lables, even though some of the contents are classed as dangerous.
