The UN Globally Harmonised System (GHS) offers the possibility to protect proprietary information in SDSs or on product labels. Confidential Information claims can be made for different regions or countries as long as they do not compromise the health and the safety of workers and consumers, or the protection of the environment. 

Withholding Trade Secrets in SDSs or labels may sometimes require prior approval from local competent authorities. 

Throughout this webinar, we will look at examples such as Australia, Canada, European Union, the United States and South Korea to see how local provisions for Trade Secret claims in SDS and labels look like.

What this webinar will cover

• Which elements and contents can be claimed in SDS and labels?
