Paragraph 1 changes from a general obligation to update labels without undue delay for more severe hazards or new supplemental elements into an obligation that ties the update to a specific timeframe of no later than 6 months after the results of a new evaluation under Article 15(4) are obtained by or communicated to the supplier, and it drops the earlier reference to supplier cooperation under Article 4(9).

Paragraph 2 similarly changes from a flat 18-month update requirement into an 18-month period measured from when the results of a new evaluation under Article 15(4) are obtained by or communicated to the supplier.

A new paragraph 3 is added stating that paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply where the labelling change was triggered by a harmonised classification set out in a delegated act under Article 37(5) or a provision set out in a delegated act under Article 53(1), requiring instead that the label be updated by the date set in that delegated act, and the former paragraph 3 becomes paragraph 4, now referencing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 instead of the earlier Directives 91/414/EEC and 98/8/EC.

Article 30
Updating information on labels
1. In the event of a change regarding the classification or labelling of a substance or a mixture, which results in the addition of a new hazard class or in a more severe classification, or which requires new supplemental information on the label in accordance with Article 25, the supplier of that substance or that mixture shall ensure that the label is updated without undue delay and in any event no later than 6 months after the results of the new evaluation referred to in Article 15(4) are obtained by, or communicated to, that supplier.

Where a change regarding the classification or labelling of a substance or a mixture, other than those referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, is required, the supplier of that substance or that mixture shall ensure that the label is updated without undue delay and in any event no later than 18 months after the results of the new evaluation referred to in Article 15(4) are obtained by, or communicated to, that supplier.

in force 2025-02-01 MODIFIED

Amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/1435 32023R1435

applies from: unchanged

Sources disagree — the text comparison found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it and the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.

The provision changes the timing rule in paragraph 1 from a fixed deadline tied to when results of a new evaluation under Article 15(4) are obtained or communicated, with an outer limit of six months, to a duty to update the label without undue delay following a change to classification and labelling, with cooperation between suppliers required under Article 4(9).

Paragraph 2 drops the reference to the results of the Article 15(4) evaluation being obtained or communicated, retaining only the 18-month period for other labelling changes.

The former paragraph 3 exemption tied to delegated acts under Article 37(5) or Article 53(1) and the former paragraph 4 reference to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 are replaced by a single paragraph 3 referring instead to Directives 91/414/EEC and 98/8/EC.

in force 2024-12-10 MODIFIED

Amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 32024R2865

applies from: unchanged

Sources disagree — the text comparison and the amending act's instructions found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it. All are shown; none is overruled.

Paragraph 1 now ties the trigger for updating a label to a change resulting in a new hazard class or a more severe classification, or a need for new supplemental information under Article 25, and sets a deadline of no later than 6 months after the results of the new evaluation referred to in Article 15(4) are obtained by or communicated to the supplier, replacing the earlier wording that referred to a more severe hazard or new supplemental labelling elements without a fixed time limit tied to that evaluation.

Paragraph 2 keeps the 18-month period for other labelling changes but now expresses it as no later than 18 months after the results of the new evaluation referred to in Article 15(4) are obtained by or communicated to the supplier, rather than simply within 18 months.

A new paragraph 3 excludes changes triggered by a harmonised classification and labelling set out in a delegated act under Article 37(5) or by a provision in a delegated act under Article 53(1) from paragraphs 1 and 2, directing instead that the label be updated by the date set out in the relevant delegated act, and the former paragraph 3 on Directives 91/414/EEC and 98/8/EC is replaced by a paragraph 4 referring instead to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
