The CHIPS Regulations 2002
CHIP requires the supplier of a dangerous chemical to:
•Identify the hazards (dangers) of the chemical. This is known as ‘classification’.
•Give information about the hazards to their customers. Suppliers usually provide this information on the package itself (e.g. a label) and, if supplied for use at work, in a material safety data sheet (MSDS).
•Package the chemical safely.
