The European Union (EU) has changed their label requirements for plant nutrition products. According to the EU all labels should fulfill the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). All labels should fulfill these regulations as per the 1st of June 2017.
As a result of all this, CANNA elected to do a full label review and change of our entire label line in which these things were addressed. The labels look fundamentally the same, the guarantee stays the same, but the notification of the NPK numbers has changed and warning signs are added where necessary.
Even though the labels have changed, all products remain exactly the same as before, absolutely no changes have been made.
The changes to the label, added warning sign and notification of the ingredients.
For example CANNA is required to state the mass percentages of the contents of PK13/14, therefore resulting in a NPK of 0 – 11– 12. It is the same product, just a different way of stating the percentage of the nutrients, as 0- 11 – 12 in mass/mass percentage is exactly the same as 0 – 13 – 14 in mass/volume percentages
So let us look at the same example of PK13/14 using both the old and the new methods. Bear in mind there is 130g of Phosphor and 140g of Potassium in 1 litre of PK 13/14 that each litre of solution has a total weight of 1214g.
* The two part nutrient have the total amount on the bottle and the content of that specific bottle as well. It used to be the total amount of the whole set only!
* Address details and phone number are mandatory to communicate on a label and are added to the label.
