PRISYM ID Host GHS Webinar In Preparation For New Labeling Legislation Deadline

Online, September 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Berkshire, United Kingdom - PRISYM ID will host a Webinar on 'The GHS Countdown' at 4.00 p.m. BST/ 11:00 a.m. EDT / 08:00 a.m. PDT on Tuesday September 28. The event will explore the upcoming Global Harmonized System requirements which need to be met by December 1st 2010.

The largest problem faced by the global chemical and pharmaceutical industry is the inconsistent classification of chemicals. A substance which is classed as toxic in one part of the world may not be considered toxic in another. This creates many challenges in the global supply chain.

The UN has issued a mandate to standardize both classification and communication: Globally Harmonized System (GHS). GHS aims to improve health and safety by ensuring consistent hazard communication on chemicals. It will also reduce the regulatory burden on manufacturers who currently struggle with many different systems of classification depending on the country. The clock is ticking - the deadline for GHS substance reclassification in the EU is 1st December 2010 with further deadlines to follow.

This 60-minute, information-packed session, gives an in-depth look into how to plan and implement GHS across your organization with minimal impact. The session will help you:

• Gain an understanding of GHS in practical terms
• Walk through the finalized timeline
• Understand how to successfully adhere to label requirements
• Recognize the importance of validation and traceability
• Produce secure, automated and accurate labeling for global distribution
