7、 Africa wishes to acknowledge the valuable assistance derived from publications by the United Nations Transport Division, Geneva, Switzerland. Foreword This South African standard was approved by National Committee SABS SC 1060B, National committee for dangerous goods standards Classification and in
8、formation, in accordance with procedures of the SABS Standards Division in compliance with annex 3 of the WTO/TBT agreement. This document was published in December 2008. This document supersedes SANS 10234:2007 (edition 1). Owing to the fact that information in respect of names and addresses of com
9、petent authorities and certification authorities dealing with dangerous goods is subject to change, details of the competent authorities and certification authorities are given in a general advice sheet provided with this standard. This advice sheet will be updated every six months and it is the res
10、ponsibility of the competent authority/certification authority to notify Standards South Africa of any changes. The advice sheet will be available, free of charge, from the Standards Sales Department of Standards South Africa. The Supplement to SANS 10234 List of GHS classification and labelling of
11、chemicals consists of an alphabetical list of chemicals classified in accordance with the GHS and a numerical list of the re-classified chemicals in accordance with the CAS (Chemical Abstracts Registry) numbers. Amdt 1 Annexes A, B and J form an integral part of this standard. Annexes C, D, E, F, G,
12、 H, and I are for information only. In 5.2.2 mention is made of “accredited laboratories“. In South Africa this refers to laboratories that are accredited by SANAS (South African Accreditation System). In 6.5.1 mention is made of “national qualifications authority”. In South Africa this is the South
13、 African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). In 6.7.2.9.2.1 it is required that colour bands be used on pesticide labels. In South Africa labelling of pesticides is regulated by the Fertilizer, Farm Feeds, Agricultural Remedies and Stock Remedies Act, 1947 (Act No. 36 of 1947) (as amended). SANS 10234:
14、2008 Edition 1.1 1 Foreword (concluded) In 6.7.5.12 mention is made of the registration number required before a pesticide can be placed on the market. In South Africa this is regulated by The Registrar, Act 36/1947 in accordance with the Fertilizer, Farm Feeds, Agricultural Remedies and Stock Remed
15、ies Act, 1947 (Act No. 36 of 1947) (asamended) In 8.1.2 mention is made of national legislation, provisions and requirements for SDSs. In South Africa, SDSs are regulated by the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993). In C.4.9.1.1 reference is made to “occupational exposure li
16、mit(s)”. In South Africa, the permissible concentration of hazardous air-borne substances is regulated by the Hazardous Chemical Substances Regulations of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993). Introduction The use of chemical products to enhance and improve life is a wid
17、espread practice worldwide. But alongside the benefits of these products, there is also potential for adverse effects to people or the environment. Given the reality of the extensive global trade in chemicals, it was recognized that a globally harmonized approach to the classification, labelling and
18、 Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for chemicals is imperative.

34、ace or in the home according to their health, environmental and physical hazards, for example acute toxicity and flammability. It gives the harmonized communication elements for labelling and safety data sheets. The classification and labelling of pharmaceuticals (including stock remedies), food add
35、itives, cosmetics, and pesticide residues in food are not covered by this standard in terms of labelling at the point of intentional intake. However, they are covered by the standard where workers might be exposed to them and in transport if the potential exposure warrants. Amdt 1 2 Normative refere
