Regulatory Challenges

• Todays regulatory requirements, especially after
  introduction of Globally Harmonized System of
  Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS),
  are becoming a worldwide challenge for industries
  of any kind. Labels and (Material) Safety Data
  Sheets, (M)SDS, are the most common tools used
  for communications of hazards in use and handling
  of a given product. The (M)SDS that are authored
  according to the criteria of GHS are known as
  Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Emerging Issues

• Manufacturers, importers, distributors and
  commercial and professional users of hazardous
  chemicals in Canada and United States, are
  mandated to meet the fast approaching deadlines
  that are established upon adoption of GHS. By
  June 1st, 2015, every hazardous chemical must be
  reclassified according to the criteria of the GHS
  while the SDSs must be revised according to the
  GHS requirements.

International Requirements

• Introduction of any product internationally
  requires a fully compliance SDS and labels that
  are created according to the local applicable
  jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions have implemented
  GHS fully while others are in a transition
  period, where deadlines are established by the
  applicable jurisdiction. June 1st, 2015 is
  assigned by Europeans and Brazilian authorities
  due to the adoption of 4th revision of GHS, all
  Chinese SDS must be revised by Nov. 1st, 2014
  while Korean, New Zealand and Japanese GHS
  implementation are fully enacted.

SDS Authoring/Update

• Whether you are introducing new products,
  updating your existing (M)SDS according to GHS or
  if you are expanding your business overseas, you
  may require to author, reformat, update or revise
  an SDS to be able to put your products into the
  market. Regardless of adoption of the GHS,
  providing a compliant SDS and label is a
  challenge to industries. Although you have
  learned the principles of GHS through UN purple
  book or any other applicable jurisdictions, but
  it is important to know how each country have
  implemented GHS differently to meet their current
  regulation needs.
