24h Emergency Telephone Number Service for SDSs and Labels in China

According to 4.2.7 of China's mandatory national labeling standard for chemicals (GB 15258-2009) – “General rules for preparation of precautionary label for chemicals” that came into force on 1 May 2010, there shall be at least one 24-hour emergency phone number on the precautionary label of any imported chemical and this number must be located in China.

In general, the information in a SDS needs to be consistent with the information on a label and thus a 24h emergency number might also be required for SDS. In addition to that, when manufacturers and importers of hazardous chemicals register their chemicals with the National Registration Centre of Chemicals(NRCC), they must provide a domestic 24h emergency telephone number for chemical accidents.

CIRS is the authorized agent for NRCC's 24h emergency telephone number service for Chinese SDSs and labels. More info about our service procedure and cost can be found here.
