Cautionary Notes to Korea MSDS Authoring I

1.) MSDS of imported chemicals has to contain emergency contact details of the importer in South Korea. But for MSDS of chemicals directly imported into South Korea without an importer can indicate the contact details of the exporter.
2.) All the sections of MSDS must not contain symbols such as hyphen (-) to express inapplicability or non existence of the relevant data but a word or phrase such as “Inapplicable” or “No data available” must be expressly stated. 
3.) Authoring of MSDS and Label in Korean language is the general principal. But if a chemical is to be used only in the laboratory for R&D and test purpose, then such chemical may be accompanied with an MSDS of English version.
4.) The third section of the MSDS - Composition/information on ingredients – is the only section where confidentiality of information is applicable. if the information in third section of the MSDS is concealed as CBI, then such fact has to be explicitly stated.
