The next major GHS requirement, according to OSHA, is June 1, 2015, when compliance with all modified provisions is the final rule and distributors shall only ship containers labeled by the chemical manufacturer or importer if it is a GHS label -- but you can start using GHS labels now for a smooth transition to meet the June deadline.

GHS labeling kits are available for the DuraLabel Toro, DuraLabel Pro, and DuraLabel 9000 labeling systems.
