About this presentation

In an ever-evolving regulatory landscape, staying informed and compliant is paramount and Hibiscus hope to illuminate the pivotal topic of chemical labelling and inform delegates of the latest changes to labels under the updated Classification, Labelling, and Packaging (CLP) regulations.

We plan to guide delegates through the essential aspects of chemical labelling that every professional in the industry should be aware of. Labels are a cornerstone in hazard communication and their correct creation and management is often a complex challenge. Hibiscus will provide advice and instruction on best labelling practices and update attendees on the latest CLP amendments to labels which include minimum font sizes and changes in digital labelling.

Key highlights of our presentation will include:
• Significance of Correct Labelling: We will underscore the vital role labels play in chemical product management, emphasising their importance in safety, compliance, and effective hazard communication.

• Best Practices for Effective Label Creation: We will share proven best practices for label creation, accompanied by practical case studies and success stories from our clientele.
• Supply Chain Efficiency: We will show how implementing best practices in chemical labelling can streamline your supply chain, reduce errors, and improve overall operational efficiency.
• Introduction to Hibiscus PLC’s Label & SDS Software: We will offer a glimpse at our Label and SDS Software, showcasing their features and how they simplify label and SDS creation, while ensuring alignment with global regulations.
