Korean initiative of GHS activities.
To implement a globally harmonized system of classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS) in Korea, an interminsterial GHS committee involving 6 ministries established an expert working group composed of 7 experts from relevant organizations and one private consultant to prepare an official Korean GHS version by March, 2005. As such, the translation and review of the official Korean GHS version, including annexes, started in October, 2004 and was completed on March 15, 2005. The official Korean GHS version has now been posted on the websites of the relevant ministries and organizations to solicit public opinions. The official Korean GHS version will be finalized after a public hearing scheduled for May, 2005. Collaborative efforts as regards implementing and disseminating the GHS in Korea will be continued to avoid any confusion or duplication and for effective use of resources.
