As part of our cleaning process we use ISO Propanol and Acetone. We are a small user and the solvents are in ordered in 25 Lt drums. The drums the solvents are contained in, up until recently, have always been coloured coded, Blue for ISO Propanol, Red for Acetone now they are both being packaged in blue drums which has caused confusion amongst some of the workforce. I have contacted the supplier re the change but, they say it does not matter what the colour of the drum is, its the label that is important. I have look at packaging regs etc but cannot find any clarification. Can anybody else help?

I'm not aware of any regulatory requirement on colour coding (but am happy to receive correction on this). Certainly the regulatory requirement is for labelling - both under road transport regs and the CHIP regs.
What seems important to me is your relationship between yourselves and your supplier. If the relationship is good then they should be sympathetic to a request to supply the different chemicals in different coloured drums.
Failing that, you could get your goods-in section to colour-band one of the drums with tape.
Hope this helps but please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss further.
