Adopting the UN’s GHS Revision 7
On February 6th, 2023, Singapore officially adopted updates to their SDS and labeling regulations.
The following are the two new updated regulations:
SS 586-2: 2022: A globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals

This new regulation adds these revisions:
- Enhancing the requirements for labeling and training.
- Including a new physical hazard class for desensitized explosives.
- Creating a new section on “Hazard communication for chemicals stored in the workplace” in section 8.
- Adding a new informative Annex B to give examples of labeling for chemicals in small containers.
