Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for China GHS (GB Standard) Compliance

Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized SDS services ensuring full compliance with the mandatory Chinese national standards for hazardous chemicals placed on the market in China. We guarantee your SDS is accurate, adheres to the specific Chinese GHS implementation rules, and meets the critical language and emergency contact requirements.

🇨🇳 Key Compliance Mandates in China

Compliance is governed by the overarching Decree No. 591 – Regulations on Safe Management of Hazardous Chemicals and the following mandatory National Standards (GB Standards):

1. Classification and Format Standards

• Format: The SDS must be a 16-section document following the structure defined in the GB/T 16483-2008 and GB/T 17519-2013 standards.

• Classification: Hazard classification must strictly adhere to the mandatory GB 30000 series of standards (e.g., GB 30000.2-2013 to GB 30000.29-2013), which are aligned with UN GHS Revision 4 (though China is gradually updating to later revisions). This is the most crucial difference, as China has not adopted all GHS "building blocks" (hazard categories) used in other countries like the EU or US.

2. Language Requirement

• Mandatory Language: The SDS and the GHS label must be presented entirely in Simplified Chinese (Mandarin). English or other languages may be included as supplementary information but are not acceptable as the primary language.

• Terminology: Specific Chinese chemical names, hazard statements, and precautionary statements must be used in accordance with the GB Standards.

3. Emergency Contact Requirement

• Mandatory Domestic Number: This is a non-negotiable requirement. The SDS and the label must display a 24-hour emergency telephone number that is a domestic (Chinese) landline number and is staffed by personnel who can provide technical guidance and support in Chinese (Mandarin). An international number is insufficient.
