Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.

As a result of this change, GSA revised Federal Standard No. 313-E

requiring Safety Data Sheets for classifying chemicals and communicating

the applicable information on labels.

In accordance with the revised standard after June 1, 2015:

1. Suppliers will be required to submit, to the contracting officer for

review and approval prior to award, safety data sheets consistent with

the requirements found at 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200 for hazardous materials

delivered to the Government.

2. Suppliers will also be required to submit, to the contracting officer

for review and approval prior to award, Hazardous Communication Standard

(HCS) labels in accordance with 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200 requirements or

current Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), Federal Hazardous Substance

Act (FHSA) labels when subject to labeling requirements under those

statutes. This product labeling is required for hazardous materials

delivered to the Government.

3. Finally, suppliers must train their employees on the new safety data

sheets, hazardous communication labels, and requirements of 29 C.F.R.

1910.1200.
