EUH070 in the 24 official EU languages
A label put on the market in an EU country must carry the wording of that country's own language version of CLP — not a translation of the English one. These 24 lines are quoted from the consolidated regulation, Annex III, and are the text to print.

Source: CELEX:02008R1272-20260501, Annex III. © European Union, https://eur-lex.europa.eu — only the electronic Official Journal of the European Union is authentic. Irish is one of the 24 official languages and its H and P texts are printed inside the multilingual Annex tables, but no consolidated CLP has ever been published in Irish — which is why an Irish-primary label cannot be built here.
03 · Legal status
Where EUH070 is current
GHS is a United Nations model text, revised every two years, and each jurisdiction adopts a revision on its own timetable. A code can be legally current in one system and deleted in another — that is normal, not an error.
| Jurisdiction | Basis | Status of EUH070 |
|---|---|---|
| EU CLP | Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 CLP Annex IV, Part 2 (consolidated) | Current |
| US OSHA HazCom | 29 CFR 1910.1200 Appendix C UN GHS Rev.7 (final rule of 20 May 2024) | not in this system |
| US HazCom 2012 | legacy · GHS Rev.3 UN GHS Rev.3, Annex 3 | not in this system |
| UN GHS | Rev.11 (2025) UN GHS Rev.11, Annex 3 | not in this system |

04 · Substances
Substances carrying EUH070
Every entry whose harmonised CLP Annex VI classification includes this hazard statement. Substances with a reference page here open on this site; the rest open on ghssymbols.com. Of these, 1 is a group entry such as “salts of picric acid” or “beryllium compounds” — Annex VI gives them no CAS number, so they are listed by Index No and have no page of their own.
- (R)-5-Bromo-3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl… CAS 143322-57-0
- 2-Nitro-2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol CAS 5428-02-4
- Difethialone CAS 104653-34-1
- Fosthiazate CAS 98886-44-3
- Pyridine-2-thiol 1-oxide, sodium salt Index No 613-344-00-7
