Labelling chemicals

As well as REACH, there are other laws chemicals substances. According to the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2009 (also known as the CHIP Regulations) chemical manufacturers and suppliers must ensure that dangerous substances are packaged and labelled appropriately.

Labelling is particularly important in communicating hazards to anyone who uses those substances, enabling them to take necessary steps to prevent harm. A typical label might include warning such as ‘explosive’, or ‘highly flammable’.
