Safe Work Australia has updated the Hazardous Substances Information System (HSIS) online database to reflect changes in Europe’s 30th Adaptation to Technical Progress to Directive 67/548/EEC.
The HSIS online database is an internet resource that allows users to find information on substances that have been classified in accordance with the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC:1008(2004)] 3rd Edition and/or have National Exposure Standards declared under the NOHSC Adopted National Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment [NOHSC:1003(1995)].
The update comprised of a total of 958 entries of which there are 564 amendments to existing entries, 391 new entries and 3 deletions. Also, the HSIS Guidance Material for Hazard Classifications has been updated to reflect amendments to Notes H, J and P in the labelling column.
Email queries about the changes can be directed to HSIS feedback .
