The difference between tdg classification and ghs classification of hazardous chemicals and their respective advantages and disadvantages.

GHS is the global unified classification and labeling system for chemicals, which means "global unified classification and labeling system for chemicals". In February 2002, the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals adopted the Globally Harmonized System, which is updated every two years with the accumulation of implementation experience.

Safety data sheets and safety labels shall be written in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System.

2. What is SDS?

SDS, called safety data sheet in English, is a comprehensive document about chemical composition information, physical and chemical parameters, explosive performance, toxicity, environmental hazards, safe use, storage conditions, emergency treatment of leakage, transportation regulations and other information, and it is also one of the information transmission carriers required by EU REACH regulations.

3. Under what circumstances should a safety data sheet be provided?

When an enterprise's products are listed in the List of Hazardous Chemicals, or products are classified as dangerous goods according to GHS standards, SDS should be provided actively; Or, although the above conditions are not met, the enterprise needs to deliver SDS in its supply chain at the initiative of the importer or under the stricter classification and labeling of substances in the same industry.

4. The difference between SDS and MSDS

Both the European Union and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)114 use the term SDS, but in the United States, Canada, Australia and many countries in Asia, SDS is also called m SDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), and their functions in the supply chain are completely consistent, except for some slight differences in content. After the implementation of GHS, many countries and regions, including the United States and Canada, also adopted SDS terminology, so SDS terminology will be adopted uniformly in the future.
