What’s the GHS Mixture Classification System (METI’s Installed version)

The METI in Japan has developed a new GHS classification system (METI’s Installed version) to promote more widespread adoption of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) and to assist businesses as they work to classify and label products under the GHS. This system is based on the 6th revised edition of the UN GHS Purple book and JIS Z 7252:2019. Through the System, users can classify the mixture (products) and prepare GHS labeling elements in line with the results of classification. Basically, the System doesn’t classify Physical hazards automatically. Users have to enter the physical hazards. For the Health hazards and the Environmental hazards, the System provides classification.

Although METI’s Installed version needs installation to the individual devices and regular updates, in 2020 NITE launched a new version of the GHS mixture classification system (NITE-Gmiccs) with improved convenience. With NITE-Gmiccs, if having a network environment, anyone, anywhere can easily and automatically perform GHS classification of mixtures. In addition, NITE-Gmiccs always contains the latest GHS Classification Result by the Japanese Government as basic data, so users do not need to update the data. In accordance with the publication of NITE-Gmiccs, METI announced that it would terminate support of METI’s installed version at the end of 2021. Please utilize NITE-Gmiccs at your convenience.

*JIS Z 7252: 2019 which is Japanese Industrial Standard showing the Japanese principle for global harmonization, to allow GHS classification to be carried out correctly and effectively in Japan.

• NITE-Gmiccs（GHS Mixture Classification and Labels Creation System invented by METI in Japan）

*The update of METI’s Installed version will not be conducted with revision of GHS and JIS in the future.

*NITE-Gmiccs also doesn’t classify Physical hazards automatically. Users have to enter the physical hazards by yourselves.
