Get fully prepared for new GBs on China GHS

China has implemented Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) since 2008 by adopting the 2^nd revision of UN GHS. The implementation is progressing slowly but surely with a batch of national standards concerning classification, labelling and hazard communication updated or newly formulated to conform with the 4^th revision of UN GHS. The most important ones are GB/T 17519-2013 (SDS compilation guidance) and GB 30000 series (rules for classification and labelling).

The webinar will be mainly divided in two sections:

1. GB/T 17519-2013 “Guidance on Compilation of Safety Data Sheet for Chemical Products”

• Revision background

• New requirements on SDS, as compared with GB/T 16483-2008

• Advices to those attempting to export Hazchems to China

2. GB 30000-2013 “Rules for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals” (28 GBs)

• Similarities and differences, as compared with UN GHS

• How to classify chemicals by referring GB 30000?

• Clarification of possible confusions of stakeholders
