GHS Warning Diamonds
GHS is the Globally Harmonised System of classification and labelling of chemicals (sometimes also referred to as CLP). GHS came into effect in 2009, phasing out the old black & orange CHIP designs by 2015. The aim of the GHS regulation is to create a worldwide recognisable system of chemical classification and labelling.
The carriage of dangerous goods by road, rail, inland waterway, sea and air is regulated internationally by European agreements, directives and regulations, and parallel legislation in the UK. Dangerous goods are assigned to different classes depending on their hazard. The person or business shipping the goods is responsible for classifying, marking and packaging the dangerous goods. ADR sets out the requirements for the classification, packaging and certification of dangerous goods being transported by road.
