The General Harmonised System (GHS) of classification:
A new way to classify and label your chemical products…

The major challenge of the next few years will be the implementation of the General Harmonised System (GHS), which will create a new system of classifying and labelling chemical products.

In order to gradually familiarise you with these new regulations, InfoDyne is monitoring the development of the legislation for the European GHS project.

We are already offering, in our WLabel software program, an overview of what the future labels of your products might look like.
