KOSHA SDS Submission

Background of KOSHA

Companies conducting chemical-related business in/with Korea not only need to comply with K-REACH but also need to strictly comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in Korea. The Act was revised and issued by the Korean Ministry of Employment and Labor (MoEL) in 2019 and has come into effect in 2020. The implementation of OSHA promotes the standardized use of chemicals in the workplace to avoid chemical safety accidents. OSHA requires that enterprises that intend to manufacture or import chemicals and mixtures that meet the classification criteria specified in the Industrial Safety and Health Act must prepare (M) SDSs and submit them to MoEL.

KOSHA SDS Submission

Korean chemical manufacturers and importers can directly visit the KOSHA website and submit MSDSs online. And companies outside of Korea can designate an Only Representative (OR) in Korea to file. Furthermore, the revised MSDS should be submitted on time if the main details, including product information, hazard classification, and supplier, have changed. Applicants (manufacturers and importers in Korea, or ORs) can submit the following three forms of (M)SDS electronically through the official IT system.

• Option 1: Submit (M)SDS with all ingredient information;
• Option 2: Submit (M)SDS containing only hazardous ingredients and a separate document containing information on other ingredients;
• Option 3: Submit (M)SDS containing only hazardous ingredients and a separate statement confirming that the undisclosed ingredients are non-hazardous substances (This option is only for imported products).
