Alongside the benefits of these products, there is also the potential for adverse effects to people and the environment. As a result a number of countries or organizations have developed laws or regulations that require information to be prepared and transmitted to those using chemicals, through labels or Safety Data Sheets (SDS). While these existing laws or regulations are similar in many respects, their differences are significant enough to result in different labels or SDS for the same products in different countries. The GHS provides a basis for harmonization of rules and regulations on chemicals at national, regional and worldwide level.--Publisher's description The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) covers all hazardous chemicals. This book includes revisions relating to classification and labelling; provisions for aspiration hazards and guidance on the use of precautionary statements, pictograms and on the preparation of safety data sheets. The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) has been developed in co-operation with the ILO, the OECD, and the United Nations on the basis of a mandate given in Agenda 21 by the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED).
