Discussion on Chemicals Related Standards and Classification Method

There are amounts of national standards and industry standards related to chemical management system, which are widely used in areas of design, research, production, transport, applying, management and disposal. Because different departments publish standards with their own industrial characteristic, the standards are numerous, the structure is unclear, some contents are duplicated, and similar definition is inconformity. 467 current chemicals were analyzed and the same definitions and the structure relationship of related standards compared. According to standardized classification method, the chemical standards were divided into 8 sorts, including names, classification, rules, testing methods, GLP management, packing and transporting, security and production, and the related chemical standards were classified. Other chemical standards which were not included could be classified referring to this method. The distribution situation of chemical standards was analyzed and the quantity requirements and shortage of chemical standards related to environmental protection discussed.
