Revocation of the CHIP Regs

Recently Simplifi received a query about the status of the CHIP Regulations (SI 2009/716).  The question was “are any of the CHIP Regulations still valid”?

SI 2009/716 The Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2009 were revoked by SI 2013/1506 The Biocidal Products and Chemicals (Appointment of Authorities and Enforcement) Regulations 2013.  However, to complicate matters not all the CHIP Regulations were revoked at the same time.  The sequence of revocations was

  • September 2013 – Regulation 5;
  • June 2015 – Regulations 4, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18
  • June 2018 – Regulation 1, 2, 3 and 12.

So as of June 2018 all of the CHIP Regulations had been revoked.
