分销商是否必须按照 CLP 进行分类？

Do distributors have to classify under CLP?

分销商是指在欧盟境内设立的自然人或法人，包括零售商，其仅为第三方储存和投放物质（单独或混合物）。分销商没有义务推导其投放市场的化学品的分类。与其他供应商不同，分销商（包括零售商）无需对其物质和混合物进行分类，但可以采用供应链中其他参与者根据 CLP 第二章推导的分类。通常，相应的分类会在安全数据表 (SDS) 上提供。下游用户也可享有同样的豁免权，只要其不改变所供应物质或混合物的成分。请注意，在欧盟境内设立的分销商，如果从欧盟以外的参与者处获得物质或混合物的供应，则根据 CLP 被视为进口商。这意味着他们有义务对这些物质和混合物进行分类，并将相关物质信息通报给 C&L 清单。

A distributor is a natural or legal person established within the European Union, including a retailer, who only stores and places on the market a substance, on its own or contained in a mixture, for third parties. Distributors are not obliged to derive the classification of the chemicals they place on the market. In contrast to other suppliers, distributor (including a retailers) do not have to classify their substances and mixtures, but may take over the classification that was derived in accordance with Title II of CLP by another actor in the supply chain. Typically, the respective classification is made available on a Safety Data Sheet. The same derogation is also granted to a downstream user as long as he does not change the composition of the substance or mixture supplied to him. Note that distributors established within the EU who are supplied with substances or mixtures by an actor outside the EU are considered importers under CLP. This means that they have the obligation to classify these substances and mixtures and to notify the relevant substance information to the C&L Inventory.
