Updates
1. SDS China
a. Based on China NRCC/SAWS, the agency issued standard GB/T 32374-2015. The standard
recommends that H&P Codes be included on the SDS. While this is not a mandatory
requirement, 3E Company has decided to implement this recommendation on our standard
template. It can be configured to not print the codes in the GHS Authority module for China
using databox 1 for the Include field by changing it to blank. If users make this change, they will
need to contact their account representative to preserve it.
b. Header: Removed the manufacturer from the document header.
c. Section 4, First Aid Measures: Updated the template to use the header “Advice for protecting
first-aid responders” instead of “Personal protection for first-aid responders”. This change was
made to accommodate the translation from GB/T 17519-2013 in Annex A.
d. Section 8, Exposure Controls / Personal Protection: Updated the template to use the heading
“Monitoring methods” instead of “Control parameters”. This heading will also print as
mandatory using the default statement of “Not available.”

LABELS
Features
1. MSDgen now offers A6 and A8 forms of Precautionary labels under a licensed package. These labels
are available to print on A6 and A8 stock, respectively, or as multiples on A4 stock. Please contact
our sales team if you are interested in this offering. For more information, please see MSDgen
Version 6.59 Release Notes – Standard Labels Overview.
2.
Precautionary Label: Russia: The label can now print a EuroAsian Conformity (EAC) mark, which
indicates that the material or mixture conforms to technical regulations of the Custom Union.
Companies must obtain a certificate of conformity from the competent authorities to confirm that
all requirements have been met before assigning this mark. When the “EAC mark” is assigned in rg/i
(Regulatory Information / International Regulation), the image will print on the label. Users must
maintain the validity of this mark and be aware of the expiration period for the certification.
Fixes
1. EU Labels: When users have their computer's regional and language settings set up in languages
other than English, they will no longer produce EU labels that print information on two pages when
they should print on one.

2. Multiple Labels
a. Adjusted labels so that GHS hazard symbols display appropriately and do not overlap.
b. Finalizing a label that accepts multiple languages at once no longer prints the label in only the
first default language; now, both default languages will print on the finalized label.
c. In SQL Server systems only, the parameterized code <@1> will no longer print on labels when
users did not enter a parameter for the glossary that contains the code.
d. The Proper Shipping Name is no longer truncated on labels.
e. A comma no longer appears at the end of the list of ingredients after the Contains header on EU
labels.
3. Precautionary Label: Japan and Precautionary/Transport Label: Japan: The Japan Fire Service Law
heading will now print fully dependent on the value present in the Regulatory Information
datawindow, rather than if glossary statements are present in the related subsection rg/fs
(Regulatory Information / Fire Service Law).
4. Precautionary Label: Vietnam: Updated the label to display only “NSX” for the date of manufacture
rather than both Date of manufacturer and NSX concatenated.
