One world - one pictogram

From December 2010 you will notice gradual changes in the labelling and classification of chemicals and information on safety data sheets. By 2015 the new system is expected to be fully in place. The United Nations brought together experts from all over the world to create the new Globally Harmonised System, aiming to have, worldwide, the same criteria for classifying chemicals according to their health, environmental and physical hazards; and hazard communication requirements for labelling and safety data sheets.
