Scope

GB/T 17519-2013 is the English-translated version of 化学品安全技术说明书编写指南.

GB/T 17519 is the Chinese guide to writing a safety data sheet, and for anyone shipping chemicals into China it is one of the two or three documents that decide whether the consignment moves. China requires an SDS in Chinese, laid out to its own expectations, and an SDS that is perfectly valid under REACH or OSHA is routinely rejected here. This standard is what the Chinese sheet has to follow. It sets out the sixteen sections and their order, and for each of them what must be stated and how: the identification of the substance and the supplier, the hazard identification and the GHS classification and label elements, the composition and the disclosure rules for a mixture, the first aid, fire fighting and accidental release measures, the handling and storage, the exposure controls and personal protection with the Chinese occupational exposure limits, the physical and chemical properties, the stability and reactivity, the toxicological and ecological information, the disposal, the transport information under the Chinese dangerous goods rules, and the regulatory information. For an exporter, an importer or a regulatory consultant, this is the format the sheet is written to.
