The Globally Harmonized System or GHS was proposed by the United Nations in an effort to internationally standardize classification and labeling of chemicals through the use of pictograms, signal words, and hazard warnings.

Benefits of the GHS include:

• Reduced time and costs involved in meeting multiple regulations for labels
• Improved comprehension and understanding of health and environmental hazards
• Facilitation of trade by removing barriers created by various health and safety requirements
• Reduction of duplicate testing.
