This helps regulatory bodies coordinate regulations so that hazards in both countries are understood and have similar meanings. Basically, apples are apples and oranges are oranges. Even though that was the intention for GHS, everyone knows this is not the case. Every regulatory body has made minor variances to accommodate their own regulations based on scientific data and there understanding on how to manage chemicals. But that is another topic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-881757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/ICC_JointGuidenceDocumentBlog_03-2024-233x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/ICC_JointGuidenceDocumentBlog_03-2024-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/ICC_JointGuidenceDocumentBlog_03-2024-300x386.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/ICC_JointGuidenceDocumentBlog_03-2024-47x60.png 47w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/ICC_JointGuidenceDocumentBlog_03-2024-70x90.png 70w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/ICC_JointGuidenceDocumentBlog_03-2024.png 493w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/>The 2016-17 Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) decided to reduce these differences by developing a joint guidance on compliance for classification and labelling for hazards not mention in GHS. They fall under 3 headers \u201cHazards Not Otherwise Classified\u201d (HNOC) and \u201cPhysical Hazards Not Otherwise Classified\u201d (PHNOC) and \u201cHealth Hazards Not Otherwise Classified\u201d (HHNOC). In Canada, they incorporated 2 of these headers, HHNOC and PHNOC. In the United States they incorporated 1 header, HNOC.<\/p>\n<p>In this joint guidance document, it explains how to handle classifications and each header is defined by its own regulatory body. For example, in the United States OSHA defines an HNOC as \u201can adverse physical or health effect identified through evaluation of scientific evidence during the classification process that does not meet the specified criteria for the physical and health hazard classes\u2026.\u201d Basically, what this means is an Acute Toxicity Category 5 Hazard would be considered a HNOC whereas an Acute Toxicity Hazard Category 4 would not. Simply because the Acute Toxicity Hazard Category 4 is incorporated already to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In Canada PHNOCs and HHNOCs are handled separately and cover any hazard that is not covered already in the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR). OSHA does not differentiate.<\/p>\n<p>The joint guidance document also explains how to handle labelling and classification when dealing with Canada and United States based on the small differences. For example, OSHA does not consider HNOC to be mandatory on labelling, whereas HPR does require labelling for HHNOC and PHNOC. Another example is if an exclamation pictogram is required for a HHNOC or a PHNOC then it is only required once. It does not have to show more than once if it coincides with additional HPR pictograms. There are several other recommendations in this joint guidance developed by the RCC.
