GHS / CLP Compliance

The Globally Harmonized System for classification and labeling of chemicals calls for a harmonized and common set of classification criteria for physical, health and environmental standards for the creation of labels and safety data sheets. With an overall intention to achieve greater consistency and uniformity among countries in regulating the safe use, transportation, and handling of chemicals, the GHS approach provides an international framework as a basis for the sound management of chemicals.
