The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), and the Ministry of the Environment (MoE) have been classifying chemicals according to Japan GHS and publishing recommended classifications since 2006. So far, over 3,000 substances have been classified, but only some are mandatorily subject to GHS-related obligations in Japan. All GHS-classified substances are searchable through the GHS Mixture Classification and SDS/Label Preparation Creation System (NITE-Gmiccs).
