The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a UN initiative for global hazard communication. GHS introduces an improved system of classification for chemical substances by type of hazard, and harmonized hazard communication elements including phrases and symbols.
The GHS Regulation Compliance provides the following services:
1.Classification of substances to meet the new requirements set out by the newly adopted Globally Harmonized System
2.Safety Data Sheet (SDS) updates to verify that all requirements are met and that classification of substances have been properly assigned
3.Label formulation for compliance with GHS and correspondence with safety data sheets
The GHS standard was established on the building block basis; in this case a building block according to the GHS regulation is a hazard class. Within a hazard class, each hazard category can be seen as a building block: for a given hazard class competent authorities have the possibility not to apply all categories. GHS Regulation gives a government the freedom to determine which of the building blocks will be applied in different part of their system. However, where a system covers something that is in the GHS, and implements the GHS Regulation, that coverage should be consistent.
