CLP labels, UFI codes and Belgian legislation: everything you need to know

At Loubelle, we believe it's important that you always know what to expect. Especially when it comes to products you use daily in your home or business. Safety and transparency are paramount. That's why we take great care with CLP labels and UFI codes, and we rigorously adhere to Belgian legislation.

What is a CLP label according to Belgian law?

A CLP label can be seen as a product's identity card. It immediately tells you what you need to consider. On such a label, you'll find symbols, warnings, and short text that inform you at a glance. Think of a flame icon when something is flammable or an exclamation mark when you should wear gloves.

According to CLP legislation, a label must always include the name, address, and telephone number of the manufacturer or distributor. This way, as a user, you immediately know who to contact for further questions or in case of emergency.

The purpose of such a label is simple: to protect you. The better you know what a product can do, the safer you can use it.

What does a UFI code mean?

A UFI code is often displayed next to the label. UFI stands for Unique Formula Identifier. Each code corresponds to the exact composition of a single product.

A practical example: Someone spills a product and feels unwell. Thanks to the UFI code, they don't have to guess what's inside; the poison control center can immediately determine what substances are present and recommend the appropriate treatment. This saves valuable time and provides peace of mind.

CLP legislation in Belgium and compliance

The rules regarding CLP labels and UFI codes are not optional. In Belgium, they are legally mandated and strictly enforced. Manufacturers and distributors must correctly register their products, label them, and provide all necessary information. This guarantees the safety of users and the environment.

At Loubelle, we take that responsibility very seriously. Our products comply with all legal requirements, and we ensure that labels are always clear and complete.

What should you pay attention to with a CLP label?

Even though we ensure everything is in order, it's still good to take a moment to consider what's on a label. Here are some things that are always helpful to check:

The pictograms . They immediately give you a visual signal, such as flammable, irritating, or environmentally hazardous.

The signal words . Often they say "Danger" or "Warning." This indicates the severity of the risk.

Precautions . Here you can read how to use the product safely and what to avoid.

The manufacturer or distributor . Each label must include the name, address, and a telephone number. This way, you'll immediately know who is responsible and who to contact.

The UFI code . If necessary, write it down for products you use frequently. That way, you'll always have it handy in case anything happens.

By taking a quick look at this information, you will immediately know how to use the product safely and avoid unpleasant surprises.
