The NIER provides numerous examples in the Guide to further facilitate enterprises' understanding of the classification and labelling methods.
On June 30, 2022, South Korea’s National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) issued the Guide for Classification and Labeling of Mixtures (NIER-GP2022-027, hereinafter referred to as the Guide), which aims to help stakeholders to better comply with obligations under K-REACH and K-CCA. In addition to the Guide, a leaflet illustrating rules and methods of classification and labelling with various examples was issued as well. South Korea has implemented GHS for both substances and mixtures since 1 July 2013.
