Broadly, the HCS covers how chemical manufacturers must determine and communicate the hazards of their products. European countries must also start using the new overall format for chemical mixtures (most of PolyOne’s products and solutions are considered mixtures). Additionally, GHS changes the basic way in which the hazards of a chemical or mixture of chemicals are determined by comparison against specific criteria and providing a prescribed approach to determine hazard classifications and levels of severity.
