GHS/CLP

The objective of GHS/CLP-Regulation is to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment as well as the free movement of substances, mixtures and certain specific articles within the European Union. The global harmonisation of regulations for classification and labelling of substances and mixtures for marketing and use on the one hand and for transport on the other aims at protecting human life and the environment as well as simplifying world trade.

Since 20. January 2009, chemicals for application in trade and industry in Switzerland may be classified and labelling according to the GHS/CLP.
