Taiwan's Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has finalized updates to 10 of the current 29 CNS 15030 serial standards. These new standards have been revised to align with UN GHS Rev.8.
The 10 standards are:
CNS 15030-1:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals – Explosives
CNS 15030-2:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals – Flammable gases
CNS 15030-3:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals − Aerosols and chemicals under pressure
CNS 15030-4:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals − Oxidizing gases
CNS 15030-5:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals − Gases under pressure
CNS 15030-7:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals − Flammable solids
CNS 15030-14:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals − Oxidizing solids
CNS 15030-15:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals − Organic peroxides
CNS 15030-16:2024 Classification and labelling of chemicals − Corrosive to metals
The CNS 15030 serial standards were established in 2006 as the rules for classification and labeling of chemicals in Taiwan, and some of which were subsequently updated in 2015 to align with the UN GHS Rev.4.
As proposed in May this year, a new hazard class for desensitized explosives will be introduced. In addition, 21 out of the current 29 CNS 15030 serial standards will be updated by the end of this year, including the general rules, 10 standards for physical hazards, and 10 standards for health hazards (See ChemLinked news).
The first batch of 10 standards was amended and published on October 24, 2024. They took effect immediately. Revisions to the remaining standards are expected to be finalized by in the near future.
The CNS 15030 serial standards (CN/EN documents) can be purchased on the CNS website. The official English translations of the revised 10 standards are currently being prepared.
