Compliance and enforcement

The main way to ensure that the GHS is being used correctly is through enforcement. While the UN SCEGHS is responsible for implementation and maintenance of the GHS at international level, as a voluntary standard available for adoption by countries, the GHS is expected to be implemented via national regulations, legislation or administrative procedures at national level. Thus, once a country legally adopts the GHS, an effective system for monitoring and enforcing the national system will be the responsibility of relevant government authorities, including worker, health and safety, and consumer inspectorates, customs agencies, etc. This will help ensure that the new legal infrastructure dealing with the GHS is correctly and efficiently implemented and followed.

Develop a means to ensure that the legal requirements for the sectors are being met.
