GB/T 17519-2013 Guidance on the compilation of safety data sheet for chemical products

In China, the most important standards specifying the content and format of SDSs in China are GB/T 16483-2008 safety data sheet for chemical products: content and order of sections issued in 2008 and GB/T 17519-2013 Guidance on the compilation of safety data sheet for chemical products issued in 2013. GB/T 16483-2008 specifies the basic content and order of 16 sections in Chinese SDSs while GB/T 17519-2013 provides detailed guidelines on how each section should be compiled in China.
    • Product identification: Consistent with names on label;
    • Composition information: Hazardous ingredients displayed in a descending order based on concentration or concentration ranges;
    • 24h emergency telephone number: Required;
    • Language: Must be prepared in simplified Chinese.
