受 CLP 第 45 条约束且已于 2025 年 1 月 1 日前投放市场的混合物，在该日期之后是否可以由没有 UFI 的分销商进一步供应？

受 CLP 第 45 条约束且已于 2025 年 1 月 1 日前投放市场的混合物，在该日期之后是否可以由没有 UFI 的分销商进一步供应？

Can mixtures, subject to Article 45 of CLP, and already placed on the market before 1 January 2025, be further supplied by distributors, without a UFI, after that date?

在 2024 年 12 月 31 日之前，如果责任人已经根据过渡期（截至 2025 年 1 月 1 日）中的国家要求提交了信息，则供应商（进口商、下游用户和分销商）可以在没有唯一配方标识符 (UFI) 的情况下将混合物投放市场。混合物最初贴标签时不需要 UFI（见附件 VIII，A 部分，第 1.4 节）。2025 年 1 月 1 日标志着过渡期的结束。这也意味着，如果分销商货架上的混合物的标签上没有贴上 UFI，就不能再供应，因为它们不符合 CLP。自 2025 年 1 月 1 日起，所有投放到欧盟市场并根据其健康或物理影响被归类为危险的混合物必须在标签上标明 UFI（如适用）（第 25(7) 条和附件 VIII 第 I 部分第 1.4 节）。在这方面，根据 CLP 第 4(9) 条，供应链中的供应商必须合作以满足 CLP 要求。因此，分销商和零售商有义务要求其上游供应商提供并粘贴 UFI，下游用户和进口商以及对混合物进行重新贴标或更名的分销商有义务提供 UFI。根据第 4(10) 条，混合物除非符合 CLP 规定，否则不得投放市场。这包括遵守附件八的义务。实际上，运营商可以选择重新标记其仓库和货架上已有的产品，方法是通过贴纸将 UFI 添加到现有标签上（有关在标签上放置 UFI 的更多信息，请参阅标签和包装指南）。

Until 31 December 2024, suppliers (importers, downstream-users and distributors) could place mixtures on the market without a unique formula identifier (UFI) if duty holders had already submitted information based on national requirements benefitting from the transitional period (until 1 January 2025). A UFI was not required when the mixture was originally labelled (see Annex VIII, Part A, Section 1.4).1 January 2025 marked the end of the transition period. This also means that mixtures on the shelves of distributors can no longer be supplied further if a UFI is not affixed to their label, as they would not be compliant with CLP. As of 1 January 2025, all mixtures that are placed on the EU market and classified as hazardous based on their health or physical effects must bear a UFI on the label, as applicable (Article 25(7) and Section 1.4, Part I of Annex VIII). In this regard, as per Article 4(9) of CLP, suppliers in a supply chain must cooperate to meet CLP requirements. Therefore, distributors and retailers have an obligation to ask their upstream suppliers for the UFI, and affix it, and downstream users and importers as well as distributors re-labelling or rebranding the mixture have an obligation to provide it. As per Article 4(10), mixtures shall not be placed on the market unless they comply with CLP. This includes compliance with Annex VIII obligations.In practice, operators may choose to re-label their products already in their warehouse and shelves by adding the UFI to existing labels by means of stickers (see Guidance on Labelling and packaging for more information on placement of the UFI on the label).
