Japan’s capacity building programs
on chemicals : for a decade
• AMEICC Chemical WG is settled in 1998
• Workshops on chemical safety for ASEAN
countries since 1999 (AOTS)
• Chemical experts of JETRO on GHS and
Responsible Care hold workshops since 2002
• GHS basic training program for CLM in 2005
• GHS experts advanced training program in
2006
• GHS instructors training program, so to called
‘Train-the-trainer’ course

Feedbacks from participants
•
•
•
•
“This training is very useful for my country”
“We get many knowledge for Label, Classifications”
“Very short time”
“Some information about GHS classification is difficult
to understand”
JETRO expert’s efforts to promote GHS in ASEAN
country was concluded with great success
Participants reaches for a certain level, but
GHS implementation is not easy only by GHS
purple book
GHS 1,500 chemical classification’s
case: analysis for next step
• GHS classification has released on NITE (※) web-site
on each month asking for comments
※(National Institute of Technology and Evaluation)
• Comments received from various point of view
Many feedbacks
Form industries
Gaps on interpretation
Of GHS texts
Among the experts
Absence of
Misunderstanding for
not peer-reviewed data Basis on classification
Resolution is needed urgently
New tools needed for GHS
implementation
?
Expert judge
Data for chemicals
Understanding for GHS classification
Understanding for GHS
To reach to higher level, each
country will need new GHS tools
Example:
Classification manuals
Chemicals Data sets
Teaching Materials for SMEs
SDS standards
・・・
New tools needed for GHS
implementation (2)
• Distribution of Chemical information
• Formulation of MSDS system throughout the
country
• Awareness rising
• Share GHS classification data
・・・
Awareness rising
GHS self studying software will be released on July 2007
animated character ‘CHEMI-chan’ explains
what is the GHS, and each individuals are
enabled to study the GHS at their own pace Hello!

My mane is CHEMI
Let’s explore the world
of GHS together
GHS classification software for mixture
2005 survey for necessary GHS implementation tools
classification of mixture will be burden for SMEs
2006 Dec – 2007 March First feasibility study for GHS autoclassification software
creating auto-classification
software is feasible for certain physical hazard, most of health hazard and
every environmental hazard in accordance with GHS decision logic
2007 Sep: Second feasibility study
2008 Jan: Auto-classification software presented on website with downloadable dataset
2008 Jan: Operating instruction meeting (Tokyo, Osaka,
Nagoya, Sendai, Fukuoka)
2008 March: Final Operating Meeting at METI auditorium
Next step
• Japan’s Capacity Building program has
focused on APEC GHS implementation
initial target; 2006.
• New tools toward 2008 and beyond will be
available
• Further action could be discussed in
AMEICC Chemical Industry WG
