Hazard assessment Ingredient transparency / disclosure Safety data sheets (SDSs)

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Ministry of Labor of Taiwan released a question-and-answer format of the SDS checklist on April 21, 2022. This is to encourage the downstream users and companies of chemicals to verify the contents of SDS provided by the upstream manufacturers. Further, it will make upstream manufacturers verify their own Safety Data Sheet (SDS) more carefully.

Verification of items categorized under the following 5 groups is required:

Conformity of contents to be listed in accordance with related laws and regulations
Whether the information on hazardous ingredients is appropriate or not
Consistency with GHS classification
Whether the SDS test data is appropriate or not
Consistency of content description in SDS.

For example, a clearer indication of category 2 “If the information on hazardous ingredients is appropriate or not” of the checklist is listed in the following table with the options of Yes/No/Unconfirmed to be chosen from:

2. Whether the information on hazardous ingredients is appropriate or not?	YES	NO	Unconfirmed
(1) Appropriate disclosure of the ingredients that contribute to hazard classification or the hazard ingredients listed in Appendix Table 3
Are all the ingredients that contribute to the hazard classification of a mixture listed?
