- GHS
GHS labels (Globally Harmonized System labels), also known as chemical hazard labels, are standardized labeling solutions designed to communicate chemical hazards, safe handling procedures, storage requirements, transportation precautions, and regulatory information. These labels are commonly applied to chemical containers, bottles, drums, tanks, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), laboratory reagents, industrial packaging, and hazardous materials to support workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and product traceability.
GHS labels printing involves the production of labels that comply with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Each label contains mandatory information such as product identifiers, supplier details, hazard pictograms, signal words, hazard statements, precautionary statements, and emergency contact information. By providing a consistent and internationally recognized hazard communication framework, GHS labels help manufacturers, importers, distributors, laboratories, and chemical suppliers meet regulatory requirements while promoting safe chemical handling across global markets.
Custom GHS Label Printing in Singapore
In Singapore, GHS label printing plays a critical role in chemical safety management and regulatory compliance across industries such as chemical manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, laboratories, industrial manufacturing, and hazardous materials logistics. The adoption of the GHS standards ensures hazardous chemicals are clearly identified using standardized hazard pictograms, signal words, hazard statements, precautionary statements, product identifiers, and supplier information.
Companies involved in the manufacture, import, storage, transportation, and distribution of hazardous substances are required to comply with GHS labeling requirements established by regulatory authorities such as the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC) and the National Environment Agency (NEA). To withstand demanding industrial environments, GHS labels printing services in Singapore utilize durable materials and advanced printing technologies that provide resistance to chemicals, solvents, moisture, UV exposure, abrasion and temperature fluctuations while maintaining long-term readability and adhesion.

Key Features of GHS Labels
Standardized Pictograms
GHS labels feature standardized hazard pictograms that visually communicate specific hazard categories such as health hazards, physical hazards, environmental hazards, flammable substances, corrosive materials, toxic chemicals, oxidizing agents, explosives, and compressed gases. These internationally recognized symbols provide immediate hazard recognition and help improve workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and emergency response preparedness.
Signal Words & Hazard Statements
GHS labels incorporate signal words such as Danger (for severe hazards) and Warning (for less severe hazards), to indicate the severity of potential hazards associated with chemical substances Hazard statements (H-codes) provide standardised descriptions of the risks presented by a product, ensuring users clearly understand the nature of the hazard.
- H225 – Highly flammable liquid and vapour
- H301 – Toxic if swallowed
- H314 – Causes severe skin burns and eye damage
- H315 – Causes skin irritation
- H410 – Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects
These standardized statements consistently hazard communication across industries, workplaces, and international markets.
Precautionary Statements
GHS labels include precautionary statements across four categories — Prevention (P200–P285), Response (P301–P391), Storage (P401–P422), and Disposal (P501) — providing practical, standardised guidance for the safe handling, storage, transportation, emergency response, and disposal of hazardous chemical products. These statements apply to a wide range of substances, including acids, alkalis, solvents, pesticides, compressed gases, flammable agents, and reactive substances.
Precautionary statements offer users, workers, transport personnel, and emergency responders with clear, actionable instructions to minimize exposure, prevent accidents, and mitigate potential hazards. Examples include P260 “Do not breathe vapours,” P273 “Avoid release to the environment,” P370+P378 “In case of fire: use dry sand to extinguish,” and P501 “Dispose of contents in accordance with local regulations”. By communicating essential safety measures throughout the chemical product lifecycle, these statements support workplace safety, regulatory compliance, effective emergency response across industrial, laboratory, warehousing, and transport handling environments.
Durability & Regular Compliance
GHS labels must remain legible and securely adhered throughout the lifecycle of a chemical product. They are often exposed to harsh conditions such as chemicals, solvents, oils, water, UV radiation, abrasion, and extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +120°C. To ensure long-term performance, GHS labels are commonly produced using durable materials such as polyester (PET) and polypropylene (PP), combined with high-performance adhesives, laminated finishes, and resin ribbon printing. These features help preserve critical information, including of hazard pictograms, signal words, H-codes, and P-codes, while ensuring compliance with GHS regulatory standards, Singapore’s Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act, REACH regulation, UN Model Regulations, and OSHA HazCom 2012 requirements throughout the chemical product lifecycle.
Multilingual Support
As Singapore serves as a regional hub for chemical manufacturing and international trade, multilingual GHS labels are often required to support diverse workforces and export markets. Labels can incorporate information in English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, and other languages such as Bahasa Indonesia, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean. Multilingual GHS labels ensure hazard communication among chemical handlers, warehouse personnel, transport operators, and emergency responders, while supporting compliance with local safety obligations under Singapore WSH Act and international regulatory requirements, including GHS harmonisation, ASEAN chemical trade compliance, and UN GHS Revision 9 standards.
