Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the classification and labelling of chemicals hazardous to the ozone layer in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). It is mandatory for chemical manufacturers and suppliers dealing with ozone-depleting substances. However, it does not apply to equipment, articles, and electrical appliances (such as refrigerators or air conditioning units) that contain substances hazardous to the ozone layer.
Technical requirements
GB 30000.29-2013 establishes the criteria for classifying substances and mixtures based on their ozone-depleting potential (ODP). The standard defines a single hazard category, Category 1, which includes any controlled substance listed in the Annexes of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. For mixtures, the classification applies if at least one component is listed in the Montreal Protocol Annexes with a concentration of not less than 0.1%. The standard mandates specific labelling requirements to ensure hazard communication. Labels must include designated hazard pictograms, signal words, and hazard statements. The prescribed signal word for ozone layer hazards is "Warning", accompanied by the hazard statement indicating that the substance destroys ozone in the upper atmosphere, harming public health and the environment. Additionally, the standard outlines the necessity of precautionary statements and proper product identifiers. Suppliers must provide their name, address, and contact information on the label. The technical content is consistent with the fourth revised edition of the GHS, ensuring alignment with international chemical classification frameworks.
Testing methods
This standard does not prescribe specific physical or chemical laboratory testing methods. Instead, the evaluation relies on a decision logic based on the chemical composition of the substance or mixture. Compliance is determined by cross-referencing the chemical components against the controlled substances and their specific ODP values listed in the Annexes of the Montreal Protocol.
