ILO/WHO. “International Chemical Safety Cards”. Online
Description:
Provides validated (i.e. peer-reviewed) information on pure substances. The International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSC) are data sheets intended to provide essential safety and health information on chemicals in a clear and concise way. The primary aim of the cards is to promote the safe use of chemicals in the workplace. The main target users are workers and those responsible for occupational safety and health. The ICSC project is a joint undertaking between the World Health Organization (WHO) and the ILO, with the cooperation of the European Commission.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
The International Chemical Safety Cards can assist countries with identifying who will do the classification for national implementation of the GHS. For example, a country may wish to use GHS classifications from imported chemicals or the GHS classifications from existing lists of classified chemicals.
