Valenc generates GHS labels from classified product data. Once a product is classified according to your jurisdiction's rules, the label content is sourced from the same record as the safety data sheet, ensuring consistent hazard information across both. Currently supported regions include the US, Canada, Mexico, the EU, the UK, and the UN module. Additional regions will be added before December 31, 2026.
Hand-made labels or those created in separate tools must be manually kept in sync with the SDS. In Valenc, classification is completed first. Hazard classes and categories are determined by a deterministic rules engine, and both the SDS and label are generated from the classified product data. Classification is never performed by a language model. Valenc includes an approval step that can block publishing, and an audit trail logs all edits and approvals. See GHS classification for details on the rules engine.
A GHS label communicates a product's hazards to those who handle it. Label content typically includes the product identifier, signal word, hazard statements, precautionary statements, pictograms, and supplier identification. In Valenc, hazard and precautionary statements are sourced from the same curated phrase library, maintained for all supported languages and used for SDSs.
Transport labels follow a separate transport determination; see transport and DOT classification.
US manufacturers begin with the US module (OSHA HazCom under HCS 2024). Shipping to Canada, Mexico, the EU, or the UK adds that region's rules to the same product record, and language variants provide translations. Valenc supports the US, Canada, Mexico, the EU, the UK, and the UN module, with over 25 languages for GHS phrases. See regions and languages.
When a formulation or regulatory rule changes, the product undergoes classification review and affected SDS sections are flagged for re-authoring. Valenc's monitoring agents track OSHA, EPA, REACH, CLP, and other regulatory lists in your regions and flag impacted items. See regulatory monitoring.

| Topic | Valenc | Standalone label template | Hand-made labels (Word or drawing tools) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where hazard content comes from | The classified product record | Values typed or pasted into the template | Typed by hand |
| Link to the SDS | Same source as the SDS | Kept in step by your team | Kept in step by your team |
| When a formulation changes | Product returns to classification review; affected outputs flagged | Someone finds and edits each label | Someone finds and edits each label |

Yes. Valenc produces GHS labels from the classified product data.
GHS labeling software produces the labels that communicate a product's hazards, based on the product's classification. In Valenc, the label content comes from the same classified product record as the SDS.
No. Hazard classification is done by a deterministic rules engine. AI is used to read supplier documents, draft text and review drafts, and Valenc has an approval step that can block publishing.
Valenc supports the US, Canada, Mexico, the EU, the UK, and the UN module today. More regions are being added before December 31, 2026.
Valenc's GHS phrase library covers over 25 languages.
