GHS, GB Standards, and MEE Regulation Readiness

By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for Chemical Compliance in the PRC

Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized SDS services meticulously tailored to meet the mandatory Chinese National Standards (GB Standards) and the requirements of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) and SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation). We ensure your SDS is compliant for import, distribution, and mandatory hazard communication across Mainland China.

Why SDS is Critical in China

China's GHS implementation is highly prescriptive, operating under a system of mandatory national standards (GB). A compliant SDS is essential for:

1. Mandatory Compliance (GB Standards): The SDS must comply with GB/T 16483 (format) and GB/T 17519 (preparation guidance), alongside classification based on the GB 30000 series (e.g., the upcoming GB 30000.1-2024 aligning with GHS Rev. 8 by August 2025).

2. Import Clearance & Inventory: Required for customs clearance and verification against the Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China (IECSC).

3. Hazard Communication: The SDS data must align perfectly with the required Chinese GB 15258 compliant labels, including the mandatory 24-hour Chinese Emergency Contact Number.

A Compliant China SDS must be:

• Format: The internationally recognized 16-section GHS format, strictly adhering to the GB/T 16483-2008 standard.

• Language: Entirely in Simplified Chinese. English is not sufficient.

• Content: Classified using China's specific set of GHS building blocks and cut-off values, which are more numerous than many other jurisdictions.

• Emergency Contact: Must include a valid, 24-hour manned Chinese emergency telephone number in Section 1.

🇰🇷 SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Preparation & Review Services for South Korea

K-OSHA, K-REACH, and Mandatory MOEL Submission

By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for Chemical Compliance in South Korea

Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd provides specialized SDS services designed for compulsory compliance with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Act (K-OSHA) and the Act on Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals (K-REACH). We manage the mandatory submission process to the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL).

Why SDS is Critical in South Korea

South Korea operates a unique system where the SDS is a regulatory filing document, not just a hazard communication tool. A compliant SDS is mandatory for:

1. Mandatory Submission (K-OSHA): Manufacturers and importers must submit the SDS to the MOEL prior to manufacture or import, especially for new chemicals. Failure to submit results in non-compliance.

2. Confidential Business Information (CBI): The SDS is used as the supporting document for applying for CBI protection of substance identities or concentrations.

3. REACH-Integration: Classification must align with the broader K-REACH substance registration requirements.

A Compliant South Korea SDS must be:

• Format: The internationally recognized 16-section GHS format, adhering to K-OSHA standards (currently GHS Rev. 4/with updates).

• Language: Entirely in Korean (Hangul). English is only permissible for proper nouns (e.g., company name) or specific chemical names.

• Submission: Electronically filed with the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL).

• Content: Classification must adhere to Korea’s specific selection of GHS building blocks (some categories are exempt or combined, unlike the UN model).

🇯🇵 SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Preparation & Review Services for Japan

ISHL, CSCL, and Mandatory JIS Z 7253 Standard Compliance

By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for Chemical Compliance in Japan

Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd provides expert SDS services aligned with the stringent requirements of the Industrial Safety and Health Law (ISHL) and the Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL). Compliance is based on the specific requirements of the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z 7253.

Why SDS is Critical in Japan

Japan was an early GHS adopter, but its system is governed by a combination of mandatory and "effort-to-comply" laws. A compliant SDS is required for:

1. Legal Compliance (ISHL/CSCL): Mandatory for specified hazardous substances under ISHL and PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) Law.

2. Standardized Format (JIS): The SDS must strictly follow the format and content requirements set out in the JIS Z 7253:2019 (based on GHS Rev. 6).

3. Hazard Communication: Required to inform workers and downstream users, ensuring alignment with the specific size and formatting requirements for JIS-compliant GHS labels.

A Compliant Japan SDS must be:

• Format: The internationally recognized 16-section GHS format, strictly adhering to JIS Z 7253.

• Language: Entirely in Japanese (with appropriate technical kanji and kana). Foreign language is not sufficient.

• Content: Classification must align with the GHS Rev. 6 criteria adopted by Japan and utilize classifications published by government-affiliated bodies like NITE (National Institute of Technology and Evaluation).

• Completeness: No section of the 16-section SDS (except Section 16, "Other Information") can be left blank; if information is unavailable, the reason must be explicitly stated.
