The Importance of Labeling and Packaging Tests in SEA Compliance: Reduce Penalty Risks

Contents

    Proper labeling and packaging are vital for the safe and compliant distribution of chemical substances. In Turkey, the SEA Regulation ensures that chemical products meet legal standards to inform and protect end users. Failure to comply with SEA label control and packaging control can lead to serious penalties. Here’s what you need to know.

    What is the SEA Regulation?

    The SEA Regulation aligns with the EU’s CLP Regulation and governs the classification, labeling, and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures in Turkey. Its goal is to enhance chemical safety through standardized communication tools.

    Why Labeling Tests Matter

    Under the SEA chemical label regulation, every product label must meet the following requirements:

    • Accurate and visible hazard pictograms
    • Clear hazard (H) and precautionary (P) statements
    • Durable, chemical-resistant label material
    • Readability maintained throughout the product’s life cycle

    Why Packaging Tests Matter

    Packaging is not only a protective barrier but also a communication tool. Incomplete SEA packaging control increases legal and user safety risks:

    • Packaging must be leakproof
    • Should not be reusable if it poses a danger
    • Child-resistant caps required for hazardous chemicals
    • Tactile warnings for visually impaired users

    Common Test Considerations

    Test Type Evaluation Criteria
    Label Durability Resistance to abrasion and chemical exposure
    Packaging Seal Test Leakproof under pressure and heat
    Child Safety Compliance Opening test and tactile label verification
