Developing and implementing the legal GHS implementation framework
While the GHS itself is not legally binding, countries that implement the GHS will want to develop legally binding implementation measures to ensure full implementation of the GHS.
Prepare a plan that details the steps needed to bring the GHS requirements for the sector into law.
This can involve the following:
- Drafting legal implementation instruments: Prepare the necessary documents to legally implement the GHS in the sector. Examples of legislation from other countries or regions who have implemented the GHS, particularly the GHS implementation legislation from major trading partners, may be helpful resources.
- Following the legislative process: Identify and complete the necessary steps for the country’s legislative process for the sector to implement the GHS.
