Implement GHS: labelling, packaging and SDS elements

The implementation of rules for formulation and repackaging of chemicals through adoption of the GHS elements of labelling, packaging and safety data sheets is done through three activities:

  1. Data collection: Collection of data by industry.
  2. Data evaluation: Comparison of data against relevant GHS criteria.
  3. Decision making: Appropriate labelling, packaging and safety data sheets for the product.

As you have decided that your country has medium resources to implement an occupational safety and health management scheme, the option proposed is to implement the GHS  acute toxicity, local effects, respiratory sensitisation and STOT classifications, plus the relevant labels.

For further information on the collection of data from industry, please see the Information/data element of the Industrial Chemicals Management Scheme (follow the link on the left-hand side of the page; to return to this page use the navigation bar at the top of the page).
