Labelling Handbook Contents

The 'Labelling Handbook' provides comprehensive guidance on UK labelling requirements for professional, amateur and experimental plant protection products (PPPs).

Labelling Handbook Sections

The Labelling Handbook is available in 4 parts as follows:

When preparing a draft label for submission to HSE and producing the final printed label after authorisation, applicants must use Volume 1 plus one of Volumes 2 to 4 as appropriate.

Classification labelling under other legislation

This guidance is without prejudice to labelling requirements of other legislation, for example, Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures 1272/2008 (the CLP regulation). However, the Handbook does provide guidance on incorporating the requirements of CLP on product labels.
