2020 group standards

This is the current set of group standards that are in force.

They incorporate the GHS-7-based classification system that was implemented on 30 April 2021.

You may comply with labelling, safety data sheet and packaging requirements in old group standards until 30 April 2025. However, we strongly recommend updating to the new requirements as soon as possible.
