Regulatory compliance for chemical products
This post informs you of how physical forms of a chemical product can alter its hazard. Fine powders and fibres can increase the hazard compared to standard forms. Large forms or encapsulated product can reduce the hazard, and associated warnings on the label. When classifying products, the physical form should be taken into account.
This post give practical tips on how essential oils are handled in chemical regulations, particularly for hazard classification, labelling, and safety data sheets (SDSs). Labelling is explained for chemicals, detergents, biocides, and cosmetics.
