What is GHS?








 2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC

GHS is an acronym for Globally Harmonized
System of Classification and Labeling of
Chemicals
A common and coherent approach to defining
and classifying hazards, and communicating
information on labels and safety data sheets
Target audiences include workers, consumers,
transport workers, and emergency responders
Provides the underlying infrastructure for
establishment of national, comprehensive
chemical safety programs
Why is GHS needed?






 2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC

No one country has the ability to identify and
specifically regulate every hazardous chemical
product
For example; in the United States there are an
estimated one million such products
Adoption of requirements for information to
accompany the product helps address
protection needs
Goals of GHS








 2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC

Enhance the protection of human health and
the environment by providing an internationally
comprehensible system
Provide a recognized framework to develop
regulations for those countries without existing
systems
Facilitate international trade in chemicals whose
hazards have been identified on an
international basis
Reduce the need for testing and evaluation
against multiple classification systems

pesticide residues in food will not be covered at
the point of intentional intake, but will be
covered where workers may be exposed, and in
transport
Scope of GHS
Transport


For transport, it is expected application of GHS
will be similar to application of current transport
requirements;






 2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC

GHS physical, acute and environmental hazard
criteria are expected to be adopted

Appropriate GHS hazard criteria are expected to be
adopted
Labels will include the core elements of GHS (signal
words, hazard statements and symbols, etc.),
subject to some sector-specific considerations in
certain systems (i.e. risk-based labeling)

What is Hazard Classification?
The term “hazard classification” is used to indicate
only the intrinsic hazardous properties of
substances and mixtures are considered and
involves the following three steps:






 2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC

Identification of relevant data regarding the hazards
of a substance or mixture
Subsequent review of data to ascertain the hazards
associated with the substance or mixture
A decision on whether the substance or mixture will
be classified as a hazardous substance or mixture
and the degree of hazard, where appropriate, by
comparison of the data with agreed hazard
classification criteria
Page 14

Based primarily on existing UN Model
Regulation on the Transportation of Dangerous
Goods
Classification process provides references to
specific test methods and criteria for
classification
All mixtures should be tested for physical
hazards

 2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC

Substance: Chemical elements and their compounds in
the natural state or obtained by any production process,
including any additive necessary to preserve the
stability of the product and any impurities deriving from
the process used, but excluding any solvent which may
be separated without affecting the stability of the
substance or changing its composition
Mixture: Mixtures or solutions composed of two or
more substances in which they do not react
Alloy: An alloy is a metallic material, homogeneous on
a macroscopic scale, consisting of two or more
elements so combined they cannot be readily
separated by mechanical means
Page 22
Hazard Communication




 2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC

Once a chemical has been classified, the
hazard(s) must be communicated to target
audiences
As in existing systems, labels and Safety Data
Sheets (SDS) are the main tools for chemical
hazard communication

Page 23
Label and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Guiding Principles



Information should be conveyed in more than
one way
 Comprehensibility of the components of the
system should take into account existing
studies and evidence gained from testing
 Phrases used to indicate the degree (severity)
of hazard should be consistent across different
hazard types
 Format and Color of the label elements, and
SDS format should be standardized

 2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Labels


The Working Group identified approximately 35
different types of information currently required
on labels by different systems
 To harmonize, key information elements need
to be identified
 Additional harmonization may occur on other
elements in time, in particular, for precautionary
statements
