What is the GHS? A common and coherent approach
– To define and classify hazards– To communicate information on labels and safety data
sheets (SDS)
A simple and transparent method guided by
• Classification criteria• Label requirements• SDS requirements

What is the objective of the GHS?
• To enhance the protection of human health and the environment
![Page 8: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Benefits of GHS Adoption
• Protection of humans and environment around the world will be enhanced.
• International trade in chemicals will be facilitated.
• An internationally maintained system will be made available to all nations.
• Avoidance of duplication of testing and evaluation of chemicals to determine their hazardous effects will be ensured.

Magnitude of Chemical Use
• More than 27 million chemicals in the world ( CAS 2005)
• 1.1 million work-related deaths every year ( ILO)– 1/4 caused by chemicals
![Page 13: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Issues in Hazard information
• No one country has the ability to identify and regulate ALL hazardous chemicals and chemical products.
• Requirements for hazard definition, label or safety data sheet may differ from country to country.

46
Classification of Mixtures
• Where test data are available for the complete mixture, the classification of the mixture will always be based on that data.
Physical hazards:• For physical hazards, test results of mixtures
should be used for classification.• However classification of Flammable Gases,
Flammable Aerosols, Flammable Liquids and Oxidizing Gases may be determined by calculations in a specific cases.
![Page 47: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Classification of mixtures (cont.)
Health and Environmental Hazards:
• Where test data are not available for the mixture itself, then bridging principles included and explained in each specific chapter should be considered to see whether they permit classification of the mixture.
• When classifying an untested mixture based on the hazards of its ingredients, generic cut-off values or concentration limits for the classified ingredients of the mixture are used for several hazard classes in the GHS.

Declaration of Ingredients
• Competent authorities should establish appropriate mechanisms for CBI (Confidential Business Information) protection. CBI will not be harmonized under the GHS.
• CBI claims should be limited to the names of chemicals and their concentrations in mixtures.
• Mechanisms should be established for disclosure in emergency and non-emergency situations.
![Page 67: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Points to implement GHS
• Harmonization
• Building Block Approach
• Translation into the local language
• Comprehensibility test
• Risk-based labelling
![Page 76: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
76
Harmonization
• Harmonization means establishing a common and coherent basis for chemical hazard classification and communication, from which the appropriate elements relevant to means of transport, consumer, worker and environment protection can be selected.
![Page 77: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)

79
Translation
• The GHS will be the basis for chemical management in the country or region.
• Without the GHS document in the local language, without GHS implementation.
• Translation should be harmonized in different sectors.
![Page 80: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
80
Comprehensibility Test
• Some information, like pictograms, on a GHS label may be very new to the public.
• Comprehensibility test on the GHS label or SDS can be recommended before implementing the GHS.
![Page 81: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
81
Risk-based Labelling
• All systems should use the GHS classification criteria based on hazard.
• However, competent authorities may authorize consumer labelling systems to provide information based on the likelihood of harm (risk-based labelling).
• Risk-based labelling maybe done only on chronic health effects (e.g. Specific Target Organ Toxicity following repeated exposure, reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity).
![Page 82: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)

Plans for International Implementation
The GHS:
• will be a non-mandatory recommendation available to countries to implement,
but once implemented in the local regulations, it will be mandatory.
• will be operational in every country before 2008.

86
Revision of GHS document
• The GHS document is regularly revised and updated to reflect national, regional and international experiences in implementing requirements into national, regional and international laws, as well as experiences of those doing the classification and labelling.
![Page 87: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
87
Updating of information
• Suppliers should respond to “new and significant” information they receive about a chemical hazard by updating the label and safety data sheet for that chemical.
![Page 88: 1 International Standard for Chemical Safety Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) UNITAR PAG (United Nations Institute](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551635f955034694308b6225/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
