Regulatory Basis and Compliance Requirements
Under Article 12 of the Regulations on the Designation and Operation Management of Priority Management Chemicals, the Ministry of Labor can require companies to provide additional operational data for exposure risk assessment. The data requested for 2025 is SDSs. Companies handling these substances must submit SDS files via the PRoChem platform by 31 March 2025.
Submission Process
Companies must log in to the PRoChem platform and upload SDS files under the "Priority Management Chemicals Management" section. If more than one chemical is handled, each SDS must be uploaded separately.
Failure to submit SDS files by the 31 March 2025 deadline may result in regulatory penalties.
