※The Classification Manual and the Technical Guidance Document were integrated into "GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government" in FY2009. The main objective of classification manual is to facilitate the classification of the 1,500 chemicals within the limited schedule, and to eliminate any different classifications among experts. One unique point of this manual is that it allows for users to refer only reliable data sources for the classification of hazards, such as those peer-reviewed by international authorities, and original examined data is not generally used. This enables industries to save times by only checking peer reviewed information. (1) Cover Page/ Table of Contents/ Chapter 1 (2) Chapter1(cont.)
