Metal specificities under GHS

ICMM and Eurometaux, supported by their members, have been working since 2012 on the update/alignment of Annex 9 (section 9.7) and Annex 10 (Transformation/Dissolution protocol) of the UN GHS text. This work was done within a Correspondence Group mandated by the UN GHS sub-committee. A final agreement on these updates was reached in December 2022 and changes are included in the 10th revision of the UN GHS text.

Metal specificities under GHS are also duly considered in the Metals Classification tool (MeClas) that helps to fulfil classification obligations. The web-based tool can be found here:here
