Intertek offers comprehensive solutions for complying with the Globally Harmonized Systems of classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS).

The aim of the Global Harmonized Systems of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) initiative is to globally standardize the following:  

• Criteria for classifying chemicals based on health and environmental hazards  
• Hazard communication requirements for material labeling and safety data sheets  

Intertek offers the following services for GHS compliance:  

• Classification of substances to meet the new requirements set out by the newly adopted Globally Harmonized System  
• Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) updates to verify that all requirements are met and that classification of substances have been properly assigned  
• Label formulation for compliance with GHS  

Intertek has assisted hundreds of companies to comply with global materials restrictions and compliance requirements. Intertek can assist companies at any stage of their compliance initiatives including testing, reviewing of third party data, and creation of a certificate of compliance for authorities. Intertek is well positioned to support the classifying and labelling directives of the GHS due to its vast experience with restricted materials legislation in the US, Canada, Europe, and China.  

Other legislations supported in parallel to GHS compliance:  

• California Proposition 65 
• US CONEG Packaging Materials Restrictions  
• EU Toy Directive  
• EU Packaging Directive  
• EU REACH Regulation – Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)  

Talk to the experts in global materials restrictions and compliance. Let Intertek help you keep your products on the market in the EU, USA and worldwide.
