About GHS in Korea
To ensure the safe management of chemicals, we have established a globally harmonized system on
Classification and Labeling for Chemicals, which sets clear criteria for classification and labeling of hazards.
Through this, we aim to communicate information on products handled together with
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which can identify at a glance the hazards of chemical substances.

Introduction and benefits of the scheme
Providing a clear and easy-to-understand classification system can help to protect health and the environment, and can be the basis for developing unified legislation around the world. In addition, it is possible to trade internationally safely on the basis of internationally harmful hazards and reduce the cost and time for testing and evaluating hazardous chemicals.
