Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic-
resistant panels that were not only compatible with the
required hardware but also met color requirements for
better visual cover once deployed.

OSHA has stated that it will not implement enforcement of the new
labeling requirements in the U.S. until December 2015 to allow the logistics of implementing new color
labeling.
As June 2015 approaches,
pictograms where necessary will display in color on both SDSs and product labels.
