E.2.1. GHS

GHS is a repeatable block section. Click the green Plus button to open the repeatable block. The data entry screen appears and an empty block is now ready to be filled in. Add a new block for each individual classification and labelling you may have.

Set the confidentiality/regulatory purpose information for each individual record created. For a description of these flags see chapter D.4.5.7 Flags used for filtering data.

General information

Name: When a Substance or a Mixture has more than one classification and labelling record it is recommended to specify a name for each individual record so that they can be easily identified (e.g. "classification with more/equal 0.1% of substance C" and "classification with less than 0.1% of substance C").

Not classified: Check this box if your Substance or Mixture is not classified.

Implementation: The GHS implementation can be different depending on certain regions (e.g. EU, Japan, Australia). Specify the Implementation by selecting from the drop-down list. If none of the pre-defined items applies, select other:. A text field is then activated next to the list field in which you can enter any freetext. If you wish to record a GHS for another region, add a new block.

Remarks: If necessary provide any additional comments here.
