Japan SDS Authoring

National Regulations Governing SDSs

In Japan the regulations covering the authoring of SDS’s fall under the National Standard JIS Z 7253:2019 (Safety Data Sheet for chemical products: Part 1 – Content and order of sections). Hazardous product classification listed on Japan Safety Data Sheets is in accordance with JIS Z 7252:2019

Additional Regulations

Main legislation regarding chemical management in Japan:

The transport of dangerous goods is based on the UN model regulations

GHS Implementation Status

Hazardous chemicals and chemical mixtures that are used in the workplace are now expected to have SDS’s and labels prepared according to the GHS. The GHS is still only mandatory for certain hazardous chemicals. Japan revised their JIS standards in 2019 to align with Rev. 6 of UN GHS and has come into force in May 2022

I am very satisfied with the work provided by Nexreg. The work has been through, timely and reasonable. Additionally, both Mike Harvey and Nazifa Beganovic are very knowledgeable. Mike and Nazifa’s efforts have been an essential part of getting our MSDS program on track and positioned for the Global Harmonized System.
