CNS 15030 Classification and Labelling of Chemicals is the main national standard for chemical classification and labelling in Taiwan. All other GHS-related regulations have referred to this standard. The standard was firstly issued by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs based on GHS Purple Book Rev 1 and was amended in 2009 in accordance with UN GHS Rev. 2. Right now, BSMI is revising this standard based on UN GHS Rev. 4.
