GHSkuvamerk

GHSkuvamerk is a Danish system for classifying and labeling chemical substances. It is based on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), which was developed by the United Nations. The GHSkuvamerk system is used to inform users about the hazards posed by a chemical and to provide instructions on how to safely handle and use the substance.

The GHSkuvamerk system uses a combination of pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements to convey information about a chemical's hazards. The system is based on nine hazard classes, which include flammable liquids and gases, gases under pressure, oxidizing gases, toxic gases, corrosive liquids and solids, and more. Each hazard class is associated with a specific pictogram, hazard statement, and precautionary statement.

The GHSkuvamerk system is used in Denmark and is mandatory for all chemical substances that are manufactured, imported, or used within the country. The system is also used in other EU countries, where it is integrated into the EU's system for the classification, labeling, and packaging of chemicals, known as REACH.

GHSkuvamerk labels are usually yellow and are divided into several sections. The first section includes the name of the chemical, the substance identifier, and the emblem of the Danish trade information department. The second section includes the pictogram and hazard statement, which describes the hazards posed by the chemical. The third section includes the precautionary statements, which provide instructions on how to safely handle and use the substance.

Overall, the GHSkuvamerk system is designed to provide accurate and consistent information about the hazards posed by chemical substances, and to help users to understand and manage these hazards safely.
