1.4.10.5.2 Information required on a GHS label
(d) Product identifier
(ii) The label for a substance should include the chemical identity of the substance. For mixtures or alloys, the label should include the chemical identities of all ingredients or alloying elements that contribute to acute toxicity, skin corrosion or serious eye damage, germ cell mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, skin or respiratory sensitization, or specific target organ toxicity (STOT), when these hazards appear on the label. Alternatively, the competent authority may require the inclusion of all ingredients or alloying elements that contribute to the hazard of the mixture or alloy;
The chemical identities of all POPs: Chlordecone, DDT, Endosulfan, Lindane, OctaBDE, PentaBDE, Pentachlorobenzene, PFOS and its salts in mixtures with a concentration larger than the GHS relevant mixture concentration cut off  of 0.1 % (except for lindane with 0,01%) have to appear on the label of the mixtures.
Note: The EU's classifications are based on the EU implementation of the GHS and are not globally agreed classifications. They are presented here to indicate that for most POPs it is likely that the cut-off levels are 0.1%.
