Are you already
aware that in 18 months’ time, the old CHIP format will be changed to a new CLP
one? The change in the regulation is also called the GHS or Global
Harmonization System. What this basically means is that manufacturers and other
companies that are involved in the handling of dangerous goods should start
preparing for the new CLP regulations.
Here are the
basic questions that should guide you in the preparation:
·
Are all your ingredients
correctly classified?
·
Have your percentages already
been calculated?
·
Have you got new formatted data
sheets?
·
Do you have a stock of labels?
·
Do you think your stock of
labels is enough?
We recommend that
you start preparing now so that you don’t get stressed when the new CLP format
is finally rolled out.
