The United Nations has, during many years, developed a model for a globally harmonized system for classification and labeling of chemicals, with the aim of it becoming a global standard. This system is implemented in the European Union through the CLP-regulation and is now working parallel to the existing directives until 1st of June 2015, when all the new classifications of substances and mixtures must be completed. The aim of this project was to adjust the laboratory to the new legislation, through inventory of stored chemicals, update the list of chemicals and perform self-classifications of mixtures. The work included handling of about 650 different chemicals with varying hazard classifications and search for information in corporate websites and chemical databases. This resulted in a new and complete list of chemicals stored and used in the laboratory and, in addition, an example of how to make a self classification of a mixture.

After the fall of communism in Yugoslavia the ethnic resentment grew stronger and escalated in to interethnic civil conflict in 1992. After international intervention the General Framework Agreement for Peace (GFAP) installed peace in 1995. The treaty's aim was not only to establish peace but also to institute democracy in Bosnia. The OSCE were given the task to implement democracy within political institutions and civil society. This in a country with a lack of democratic experience and where great problems with ethnic antagonism still exists.By using democratization and transition theory this single case-study examines how democracy is implemented in Bosnia by the OSCE and clarifies difficulties that this democratization process is facing.

stater bildats på internationellt initiativ vilket verkade fungera under 40 år för Jugoslavien men de etniska motsättningarna i landet utnyttjades av nationalistiska partier efter kommunismens fall vilket trappade upp de etniska konflikterna och resulterade i ett inbördeskrig som varade i fyra år. 1994 hölls det ett fredssamtal i Dayton vilket resulterade i ett fredsavtal, The General Framework Agreement for Peace (GFAP). I GFAP gavs OSSE, som är den största regionala säkerhetsorganisationen i världen med 55 medlemsstater från Europa, Centralasien och Nordamerika, uppdraget att säkra freden och demokratisera landet. Detta innebar en demokratisering uppifrån med en begränsad möjlighet till inflytande vad det gäller den bosniska befolkningen. Detta reser frågan om denna sortens demokratiexports möjlighet till framgång? Den internationella interventionen och fredsavtalet som följde syftade inte bara till att få slut på kriget i regionen utan också till att skapa helt nya institutioner för interagerande i alla delar av statsapparaten och det civila samhället.
