Battery Acid labelling is currently regulated by ‘The Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2009’. These Regulations which govern Battery Acid labelling are commonly referred to as the CHIP Regulations and form the basis of labelling requirements for Battery Acid.
Dangerous substances and preparations such as Battery Acid are required by law to be labelled showing the full name, address and telephone number of the supplier. The name of the substance must appear on the label in accordance with table 3.2 of the CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) Regulations or an internationally recognised name where no name is specified.
Indications of danger must appear, together with the corresponding symbols to indicate the danger present.
Risk and Safety Phrases must appear on the label, and must be set out in full, not just listed by number.
Any EC number must appear on the label and if the substance is listed in table 3.2, the words ‘EC label’ should appear.
For some classes of hazardous substance where small amounts of product are packaged, an exemption to the labelling requirements may apply. However, this does not apply to Battery Acid labelling as it is classified as a Corrosive Substance.
The current labelling format is due to change on 1 December 2010 when the new GHS Regulations system will come into force. GHS stands for ‘Globally Harmonised System’ and this will standardise the labelling system for hazardous substances. The new GHS system will still be covered by the CLP Regulations ‘Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulations’ EC Number 1212/2008.
The name, address and telephone number of supplier will still need to appear on the label, as before, together with the product name or identity. However, the phrase ‘EC number’ or EC label’ will no longer need to be stated.
A signal word will be included saying ‘DANGER’ or ‘WARNING’ and precautionary and hazard statements will appear.
Hazard Pictograms will appear on the label in the form of a square set at a point; the background will be white and there will be a red border.
Precautionary and hazard statements may be combined on the label in order to save space and improve readability.
