Germ cell mutagens can have lasting effects on the offspring of people exposed to them, such as shop floor workers or chemists in laboratories. Companies and facilities making use of these chemicals are required by the GHS (and other chemical regulatory bodies) to follow the labeling criteria outlined in the relevant public resources, such as the GHS Purple Book.
Reading through the entire book can be a daunting task. That's why ERA experts have compiled the essential information into a concise, 18-page guide that is both thorough and easy to read. If you work with Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for health and safety purposes, this guidance for GHS hazard classifications will save you time and ensure that you have the right chemical information displayed accurately.
By reading this guide, you will learn the following:
- GHS evaluation criteria for Germ Cell Mutagenicity
- How to determine the mutagenicity potential of a chemical using classification studies
- Classification for mixtures with and without data
- Appropriate labeling for germ cell mutagens
