Regulatory Framework
UK REACH
The UK's independent chemicals regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) replaces EU REACH post-Brexit.
GB CLP Regulation
The Great Britain Classification, Labelling and Packaging regulation implements GHS for chemical classification in the UK.
COSHH Regulations
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health requires employers to assess and control chemical risks in the workplace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do UK businesses still need to follow GHS?
Yes. The UK adopted GHS through GB CLP regulation. All Safety Data Sheets in the UK must follow the GHS format with 16 standardized sections, GHS pictograms, signal words, and H/P statements.
How is UK REACH different from EU REACH?
UK REACH is a standalone UK regulation that mirrors EU REACH but is administered by HSE and Defra. Registrations made under EU REACH needed to be grandfathered into UK REACH post-Brexit.
What is a COSHH assessment?
A COSHH assessment evaluates the risks to health from hazardous substances in your workplace. It identifies what substances are used, who might be exposed, and what control measures are needed. SDSs provide the hazard information needed for these assessments.
