A new regulation came into force in January 2009 stating that manufacturers and importers had already pre-registered more than 140,000 substances with the European Chemicals Agency under the REACH Regulation. They had until 1 December 2010 to propose "provisional classifications" for these substances, which will be used for the labelling of pure substances from that date. The deadline for classifying mixtures is 31 May.

Chemical label regulations and can offer help and guidance with the following topics:

• European and Global Harmonised Standard (GHS) this states that the orange and black symbols must be replaced by the red diamond with black symbol by 1st June 2015.
• Multi Language risk and safety identities.
