GB/T 17519 - 2013 Guidance on Compilation of Safety Data Sheet for Chemical Products

GB/T 17519 - 2013 Guidance on Compilation of Safety Data Sheet for Chemical Products was issued in Sept 2013 and comes into force on 31st Jan 2014. This recommended standard provides detailed guidelines for SDS authoring in China. There are 49 pages in this standard and it sets detailed requirements on the format and content of each section listed in GB/T 16483 - 2008.

GB/T 17519-2013 refers to the following guidance: UN GHS fourth revised edition (2011), ECHA Guidance on the Compilation of Safety Data Sheet (Ver. 1.1, 2011-12), American National Standard ANSI Z400.1/Z 129.1-2010, and Japanese Industrial Standard JIS Z 7250:2010.

Even though this is a recommended standard, Chinese authorities such as CIQ and SAWS will refer to this standard and GB 16383 to determine if a Chinese SDS is compliant or not.
