Chemical Standards Exchange – “Safeguarding our workers and workplaces” and sharing of revised SS 586 Part 2 and 3

The Chemical Standards Exchange is an annual flagship seminar organised by the Chemical Standards Committee (CSC) to highlight the importance of Singapore Standards in promoting health, safety, environment, and sustainability in the chemical industry.

As the theme for 2022 focuses on health and safety, this exchange will showcase the revised Singapore Standard SS 586 : 2022 on Part 2 “Globally harmonised system of classification and labelling of chemicals – Singapore’s adaptations”, and Part 3 “ Preparation of safety data sheets (SDS)”, compared to the previous edition published in 2014 and 2008, respectively.

Highlights of the revised standard will be presented by the experts of the working group (WG) who were involved in the document’s development.

Other safety related standards under the care of CSC, will also be presented to briefly demonstrate how these documents can be used by the industry.
