A university in my state recently was inspected and told to provide GHS labels for solutions prepared for their students. They purchase 12 M HCl (as an example) which has the appropriate label but they prepare 0.1 M HCl for use in student labs. They were told that the 0.1 M HCl requires a GHS label.
Not that you can win an argument with regulatory officials, but in industrial and research labs we make up thousands of solutions and samples each day.
I noticed that someone quoted the Code of Federal Regulations in an earlier response to a GHS labeling question. Does the CFR address requirements on solutions made in-house?
Does a 96-well plate does need 96 tiny labels?
