CHIP, which stands for the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for supply)
Regulations 2002 requires suppliers to identify the hazards (or dangers) of the chemicals they supply. This is called classification.
If a chemical is classified as dangerous under CHIP, your supplier must provide you with information about the hazards that the chemical presents.
Some hazard information will be provided on the labels, but an important requirment of CHIP is that your supplier must provide you with more detailed hazard information on a safety data sheet.
