UNECE: Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals GHS Rev. 8 (2019)

Description:

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is an internationally-agreed tool for chemical hazard communication, incorporating harmonized chemical hazard classification criteria and provisions for standardised labels and safety data sheets. Implementation of the GHS and sound chemical hazard communication requires initiatives, activities and capacities for three distinct actors: government, business and industry, and public interest and labour organisations.
