Gordon - sorry but I can't help with your specifc query but I have a similar concern with 10kg tins of worktop oils with no indication on the tin that they are flammable My understanding is that CHIP should apply to ALL hazardous materials but lets hear what others think Martin

Thanks for all your input so far :) With regard to CHIP, there are some chemicals that are is not covered, specifically medicines and cosmetics, and the reason is due to more specific laws covering them. Our situations is having a product being delivered in volume, unlabelled and the MSDS sheet saying nothing about being flammable. We know its flammable because we have done our own flashpoint testing, which came in at 25oC. My concern is two fold, firstly volumes of flammable product being transported unlabelled and secondly introducing a new procedure in dealing with flammables upon arrival. Simply put, I want to know what legislation can I point to with regard to labelling flammable perfumes to a supplier? I dont want to stick my neck out by saying you must bla bla bla, where there is no legislation to back me up. Any advice much appreciated.

Gordon, I do not know about CHiP rules but for certain the transport of dangerous goods regulations will apply (if flash point is below 60C). Transport rules do not exempt cosmetics. They would have to be labelled for transport i.e. Class 3 diamond and UN number for transport
