Implementation of GHS in Canada is to take place over a 3 year transition period and will be synchronized across all federal, provincial, territorial jurisdictions. Q7: Why did PolyOne make this change a year before the required timeline in the U.S. and Europe? In order to ensure we can meet the established timelines for North America and Europe implementation of GHS, we started converting our systems about one year early.
