In order to discharge duties under CHIP you will need to obtain competent advice. This could be provided by someone in your organisation who has the necessary training and experience or a suitable external provider.

HSE (contact us) and Local Authority staff have duties in relation to CHIP enforcement and will be able to advise on specific legal questions.

• European Chemicals Bureau
  The European Chemicals Bureau works for the European Commission on matters of classification and labelling of hazardous chemicals. The European Union's Technical Committee on Classification and Labelling involves national experts from each Member State, who consider, discuss and agree classifications for hazardous substances and the related labelling requirements. Once adopted, these harmonised classifications appear in Annex 1 of the Directive and are published in the UK through the HSC's Approved Supply List.
  
  The agendas and some of the papers for the Technical Committee meetings can be freely accessed and viewable on the European Chemicals website
• The Chemical Hazards Communication Society (CHCS) – a group of professionals engaged in the business of hazard communication. CHCS provides training and mutual assistance for employed professionals and consultants.
