Abstract

The article presents a study on the classification and labeling in accordance with the GHS when issuing safety data sheets for chemical products. The purpose of the study is to identify features and differences in chemical safety data sheets developed in accordance with the legislation of a number of countries, as well as to analyze the main errors in the preparation of SDS, and in particular in the section related to the GHS classification. In the article, on specific examples, the differences in the classification of chemical products are considered, as well as explanations of these differences within the framework of the legislation used by countries. As research methods, a comparison method was used to assess the differences between the existing legislations of countries and identify criteria for hazard types that have significant differences, as well as a method for analyzing existing national documents that control safety when working with chemical products. Using these methods, the main differences in the classification of products according to the GHS and the issuing of the SDS were presented in comparison with the criteria for classifying products under Russian legislation with the classification of other countries (European Union countries, USA, Canada, etc.).
