All chemicals labelled? Get the CLP/GHS Guide
In June 2015, the transition period ends for mandatory CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) chemicals labelling in the European Union.
After June 2015, all dangerous chemical substances and mixtures need to carry a predefined CLP-label. In response Brady has produced a free CLP/GHS Solutions Guide.
CLP Labels
To warn employees, handlers, customers and everyone who could get exposed, a system of pictograms and safety messages has been developed to label dangerous chemicals and chemical mixtures. Almost all chemicals in the EU need to adhere to the CLP-identification language to ensure the risks of exposure are equally understandable throughout Europe, because these chemicals are part of everyone’s daily life.
A compliant CLP Label shows:
- Hazard pictograms
- A relevant signal word
- Hazard statements
- Precautionary statements
- Remedies after exposure
- Supplier contact information
- Nominal quantity of substance or mixture
- Product identifiers
