From January 16, 2021, the South Korea Industry Safety and Health Care Law-MSDS Amendment Regulations will be formally implemented. Our New Anrun Consulting and South Korea Chemtopia jointly launched a detailed series of amendments to the regulations. In addition to analyzing the main points of amendments to the MSDS regulations, we also designed the response process and scheme in combination with the actual situation of enterprises. This issue is a basic concept article, which introduces the background of the regulations, the subject of obligations, the applicable object, the MSDS submission period and so on.
Regulatory Background:
The Chinese name of MSDS is "Chemical Safety Technical Instructions". Its purpose is to help manufacturers manage chemicals systematically, so that operators can better understand the dangers of chemicals, ensure personal safety and prevent accidents. However, the frequent occurrence of chemical accidents in factories in recent years reflects that there are many problems such as insufficient risk information of MSDS, low credit, unclear risk description, non-standard trade secrets and so on, resulting in the actual operation staff can not obtain sufficient safety information. The revised regulations focus on requiring manufacturers to submit MSDS to the government for review, and trade secrets require prior official approval.
subject of obligation
In the new regulations, an "agent" appointed by an overseas manufacturer has been added to the subject of obligation ". At the same time, the subject of the obligation in the territory of the South Korea is determined by the previousTransfer/Provider, revised to focus more on source management.manufactures/importers.
