Interpretation on South Korea (M) SDS submission new requirements and CBI application rules

The Ministry of Employment and Labor (MoEL) of South Korea revised and issued the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in 2019. From January 16, 2021, the revised South Korean OSHA regulations on the submission of (M)SDS will come into effect. The amendments have set transitional periods for enterprises that previously prepared an SDS in accordance with Article 41(1) or (6) of the former K-OSHA Act. Those meeting the exception may submit the SDS to MoEL within specified deadlines based on manufacture or importation volumes. This webinar aims to guide enterprises in ensuring they meet these critical deadlines. The latest deadline will come on Jan 16, 2024 for products imported into Korea at 10-100 tons/y. Adhering to these updated regulatory requirements is essential for businesses to avoid non-compliance issues when exporting hazardous chemicals to South Korea.
