SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has provided details of Switzerland’s revision of its national Chemical Ordinance (ChemO, RS/SR 813.11). ChemO regulates dangerous substances and preparations (mixtures).
Requirements stipulated under ChemO include the following:
– Classification, labeling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures
– Safety data sheets (SDS)
– Use of substances of very high concern (SVHC)
Official Collection 2024 404 (RO 2024 404) was issued on August 6, 2024, revising ChemO Annex 2 (Technical requirements for CLP) and Annex 3 (Candidate List of SVHC). It becomes effective from September 1, 2024, and provides transitional provisions for the CLP of substances and mixtures.
SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulations that may impact their business. SafeGuardS 130.24 provides further details of RO 2024 404 and useful links to its French, German and Italian versions.
Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the original SafeGuardS 130.24 for more details.
