JIS7253 Hazard Communication of Chemicals Based on GHS - Labelling and Safety Data Sheet

The most important hazard communication and SDS/labelling standard in Japan is JIS7253 Hazard Communication of Chemicals Based on GHS - Labelling and Safety Data Sheet. This standard sets detailed SDS/labelling/info disclsoure requirements in Japan. It was updated in 2013 and will replace previous standard from 1 Jan 2017.

In addition to standard GHS label elements, JIS7253 require companies to label additional info required by other domestic regulations. For example, "danger division" under Fire Service Law and "Poisonous substance" or "deleterious substance" under Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Control Law also need to be labelled if applicable.
