PART 1: Introduction to CLP/GHS and why classification is important
This will cover the underlying principles of classification and labelling. It will also look at where the key differences between CLP and GHS occur and the reason for this.
PART 2: Hazard classes and categories
The human health hazard classes which need to be considered for classification and labelling purposes are identified and explained. Data source and reliability will also be included (That is, useful sources of data and things to consider when using data for classification purposes)
Human health hazard classes- Acute toxicity
- Skin corrosion/irritation
- Serious eye damage/eye irritation
- Respiratory or skin sensitisation
- Germ cell mutagenicity
- Reproductive toxicity
- Carcinogenicity
- Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Single Exposure (STOT-SE)
- Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Repeated Exposure (STOT-RE)
- Carcinogenicity
- Aspiration hazard
PART 3: The classification process
This section will look at the way in which classification is undertaken it will cover
Harmonised classification Vs Self-classification - Where information on harmonised classifications is found and how it should be used. What is meant by self-classification and how this is accomplished
Application of the hazard class criteria for classification - How the hazard criteria should be applied and things to consider. In addition, for mixtures: the use of existing data, bridging principles and concentration limits and calculation methods (including the dreaded mixture calculation for acute toxicity!)
TRAINING RESOURCES FOR EACH COURSE INCLUDE:- Course manual, complementing the live course and including practice questions and answers.
- Copy of all slides used during the training
