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 article covers the main facets of GB and EU SDSs that require attention during compilation to give not only a compliant SDS that will pass inspection, but also prove useful.
The harmonised classification of alcohol (ie ethanol) in the EU would mandate the warnings: ‘Suspected of damaging the unborn child’, ‘may cause harm to breast-fed children’, and ‘may cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure’. Are such warnings justified? What would be the consequences? Will alcohol-based hand gel need such warnings?
