2. Regulatory Challenges
• Today’s 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).

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
