GHS – Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling 2017

As of 2017 all chemicals will be required to correctly state physical, health and environmental hazards.

“The GHS was created by the United Nations to create a single worldwide methodology for chemical classification, labelling and safety data sheets (SDS). The system ensures that users are provided with practical, reliable and easy to understand information on chemical hazards, and can take the appropriate preventive and protective measures for their health and safety.

The GHS is expected to provide significant trade benefits to industry as well as improved health and safety outcomes by introducing internationally consistent assessment criteria, labels and SDS for hazardous chemicals.” Safe Work Australia.

 

Si Powders has been proactive in updating relevant data sheets and packaging to meet the new regulations and encourages customers to get in contact with us should there be any concerns.
