Globally Harmonised System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)
The Globally Harmonised System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a regulatory issue that companies are increasingly seeking information about. The Eurometaux Metals Gateway (EMG) provides a centralized source of information on this topic.
GHS is at different stages of implementation worldwide. In Europe, GHS will be implemented as part of the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP) which entered into force in January 2009 – see the ECHA Implementation Guidance documents below, and EMG for more details.
