The Ministry of Employment and Labor (MoEL) of South Korea revised and issued the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in 2019. From January 16, 2021, the revised South Korean OSHA regulations on the submission of (M)SDS will come into effect. The amendments have set transitional periods for enterprises that previously prepared an SDS in accordance with Article 41(1) or (6) of the former K-OSHA Act. Those meeting the exception may submit the SDS to MoEL within specified deadlines based on manufacture or importation volumes. This webinar aims to guide enterprises in ensuring they meet these critical deadlines. The latest deadline will come on Jan 16, 2024, for products imported into Korea at 10-100 tons/y. Adhering to these updated regulatory requirements is essential for businesses to avoid non-compliance issues when exporting hazardous chemicals to South Korea.

As the original deadline for pre-registration draws near on December 31, 2023, the urgency for companies to complete their full registration is apparent. However, in light of recent updates, there has been a significant update regarding an extension of this deadline. This webinar will not only guide you through the necessary steps for compliance but will also provide you with the latest information on the deadline extension.
