Requirements for Chemical Labels

All chemicals produced by a company operating in the chemical industry must be specially packaged and labeled. To ensure that the labeling is visible to consumers and commercial customers, the labels must adhere permanently to various substrates and yet be removable after use. Chemical substances are transported and sold in packaging made of glass, metal, paper, rubber, wood, or plastic. myLabels offers suitable labels for the chemical industry that adhere securely to different substrates and remain legible for a long time.

Labeling Obligation According to GHS Regulation

Basically, hazardous substance labels, as the name suggests, fulfill the task of indicating toxic substances and substances that are hazardous to health. These substances are labeled uniformly worldwide in accordance with CLP/GHS. This is done based on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) introduced by the United Nations (UN).

Since its introduction, chemicals, acids and other chemical products must be labeled according to the CLP (Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures) regulation. The requirements also address the durability and legibility of foil labels and other chemical labels to ensure proper classification.
