Hello-- Here's the section on the Sigma-Aldrich website that details GHS implementation within Sigma-Aldrich. As Sigma-Aldrich is an international corporation, all of the product labels & MSDSs have to be GHS compliant by the EU implementation date. http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/safety-center/globally-harmonized.html Beth Beth Shepard / Technical Compliance Specialist Regulatory Compliance 6000 N.

I'm thinking in terms of labels, safety data sheets, technical bulletins, etc. I looked at two Sigma/Aldrich MSDS's from the web and one from 2010 used the system and one from 2004 that didn't. I wonder what percent of the lab world is seeing this information and is aware of this change at this point? Any observations or comments would be appreciated. - Ralph P.S.
