The aim of this training session is to instruct you in depth about the principles of classification and labelling in accordance with GHS. Main focus will be on classification criteria for substances and mixtures. Physical, health and environmental hazards will be addressed. A further key aspect of the training will be the differences between UN-GHS and national implementation of GHS in selected Asian countries (China, Japan, South-Korea and Thailand) as well as in the EU. Representative examples will illustrate the application of GHS.
