How Are Label and Packaging Controls Conducted Under the SEA Regulation? Updated Compliance Criteria
Contents
One of the most critical aspects of chemical safety is proper labeling and packaging. In Turkey, the SEA Regulation ensures that chemical substances and mixtures are classified, labeled, and packaged in a way that protects human health and the environment. But how are SEA label control and packaging control actually performed? Let’s explore.
What is the SEA Regulation?
SEA stands for the Turkish adaptation of the EU’s CLP Regulation. Its primary purpose is to classify chemical hazards and ensure that this information is properly communicated through labeling and packaging.
Labeling Requirements
According to the SEA chemical label regulation, every chemical product label must include:
- Product identifier and chemical name
- Hazard pictograms (e.g., flame, skull, environment)
- Signal word ("Danger" or "Warning")
- Hazard statements (H-codes)
- Precautionary statements (P-codes)
- Supplier contact information
Packaging Requirements
- Packaging must be leak-proof and robust.
- Materials must be resistant to the chemical content.
- Child-resistant features and tactile warnings are required when applicable.
- Labels must be non-removable and readable throughout product use.
Common Tests in SEA Label and Packaging Compliance
| Test Type | Control Criteria |
|---|---|
| Label Durability | Resistance to abrasion and chemicals |
| Leakproof Testing | Sealing under pressure and temperature |
| Child Safety | Opening resistance and tactile label check |
