What must be Printed by the GHS Label Supplier?
Changes in 2008 to the old “Dangerous Substances Directive” regulations formed the new EC Regulation; No.1272/2008, also called GHS/CLP Regulation. The change required shippers to use a Continuous Chemical Color Drum Label Printer or Cut Sheet Chemical Color Drum Label Printer like the TC8 printer. GHS = Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Hazardous Chemicals. CLP = Classification, Labeling, and Packaging of Hazardous Substances and Mixtures.
