Interpretation of the Revision in the Draft GB 15258 General Rules for Preparation of Chemicals Safety Label

On August 13, 2025, the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced that, in accordance with the mandatory national standard development and revision plan issued by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC), it has completed the drafting of the mandatory national standard General Rules for Preparation of Chemical Safety Label (Draft for Comments). The draft standard and its explanatory notes (see Attachment 1) are now published to solicit further feedback from all sectors of society.

The public can fill out the Mandatory National Standard Feedback Form (see Attachment 2) and submit feedback via the methods described on the MIIT website between August 14, 2025, and October 12, 2025.

This revision of the national standard not only aligns with the requirements of the UN GHS 10th revised edition, but also integrates seamlessly with GB 30000.1-2024.

The most significant change is the introduction of the QR code of Chemical Safety Information, along with refined and updated provisions of GHS label for small-package and kit.

To help companies quickly grasp the key revisions and submit precise comments, CIRS will host a free webinar on 10th, September—your participation is warmly welcomed!
