Chemicals Labelling Consulting

With over 70 years of expertise in product safety and regulatory compliance, Mérieux NutriSciences AQ offers specialised chemical labelling consulting services.

Our experienced consultants assist businesses in meeting Australian labelling regulations for a wide range of chemical products, including cleaners, dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, bleaches, disinfectant wipes, paints, insecticides, scheduled poisons, aerosols, and more. We provide tailored guidance on label design, mandatory content, hazard communication, and compliance with relevant standards and legislation.

Getting your label right is critical as it plays an important role in the product’s effectiveness and safe use. Ingredients must be carefully selected and labelled to ensure they will not increase the risk of injury, illness or death. Some ingredients are restricted to certain levels to protect human health.

Our labelling consultants ensure your chemical labels meet the latest statutory requirements. Some chemicals are classified as poisons and are strictly regulated and scheduled by the Poisons Standard (the SUSMP).

Understanding Chemicals Labelling in Australia

Australia has its own set of regulations governing the labelling of chemical products. Our consultants have extensive expertise in Australian regulations, including the model Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations. They can ensure that your product labels meet the specific requirements of the Australian market. In addition, we can ensure your products meet the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

The kinds of information that are included on a chemical label include but are not limited to safety directions, warnings, first aid instructions, cautionary statements, signal words, storage, disposal, directions for use, quantity/proportion of active ingredients, expiry date, diamond pictograms, expiry date, marketing claims, text height and label presentation. These are just some of the considerations when reviewing a chemical label. In addition, chemical labels must not be misleading, be socially responsible, and not encourage unrealistic expectations.

Selling goods that don’t comply with labelling laws can incur penalties, legal action, negative reputation, recalls, waste, market delays, injury and sometimes death.
