Global Harmonization of Chemical Labeling

Posted in DuraLabel Pro, HazCom Labeling at 3:48 pm by duralabel

The U.N. “Purple Book” for Global Harmonization of Hazard Classification and Labeling Systems is available as a PDF on the HazMat Labels web site.

The United States and many other countries throughout the world have developed a Globally Harmonized System for the Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The GHS is the culmination of more than a decade of work. After ten years of technical work and negotiation, a United Nations Economic and Social Council Subcommittee adopted the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labeling (“GHS”) and recommended that it be disseminated throughout the world.

The DuraLabel label printer can print labels to conform with the GHS.
