Harmonised classification (CLP Annex VI)

InnovaDocs SDS teamUpdated: 6 November 2026

Definition: A harmonised classification is an EU-wide, legally binding classification of a substance listed in Table 3 of CLP Annex VI, which every supplier must apply.

Harmonised entries can include specific concentration limits, M-factors, ATEs and notes. Hazard classes not covered by the entry must still be self-classified by the supplier.

Annex VI is updated through Adaptations to Technical Progress (ATPs), each with a transition date. Using an outdated row is one of the most common SDS errors.

SDS Studio™

SDS Studio™ applies Annex VI entries automatically, including SCLs, M-factors and notes, and selects the right row by index number.
