UN에서는 위험물의 분류, 표지, 제조, 수송, 저장, 사용과 폐기에 관한 통합된 시스템(GHS, Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, 화학물질의 분류와 표지에 관한 세계조화시스템)을 구축하고 이 사항을 OECD에 가입한 모든 나라들에게 자국에 도입하여 실시하도록 권고하고 있다. GHS는 위험물분류와 운송부분에 관하여 물리 화학적 위험성과 급성독성의 분류와 표지사항을 기본으로 출발하였으므로 기존의 UN 시행방법과 큰 차이는 없다. 본 연구에서는 UN에서 권고하고 있는 GHS와 위험물안전관리법의 위험물분류와 위험물표지사항 및 위험물판정시험방법을 비교 검토하였다.

인류 생활 수준의 증진 및 향상을 위해 화학제품의 사용이 세계적으로 널리 확대 되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 화학제품은 많은 이점을 가지고 있는 반면에 사람과 환경 약영향을 미칠 우려가 있어서, 안전한 사용을 위한 제도를 각국에서 시행하고 있다. 2003년 UN에서 권고된 화학물질의 분류기준과 표시방법을 전세계적으로 통일하기 위한 GHS는 2008년부터 각국에서 도입하도록 권고되었다. 기존의 농약분류체계와 표시방법과 가장 많이 달라지는 것은 물질분류기준이다. 그리고, 그림문자가 표시방법이 정사각형에서 마름모형으로 변화되었고, 3종이 추가되고 1종이 폐지되었다. 따라서, 기존의 농약분류 및 표시제도와 GHS를 면밀한 비교평가와 선진국의 도입방향의 조사를 바탕으로, 우선적으로 물질분류기준변경을 하면서 유독성제품부터 부분적으로 시행하는 것이 타당할 것이다.

To classify the chemical hazard according to globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals (GHS), we investigated the genotoxicity of three chemicals, methyl myristate, 2-ethylhexanoic acid zinc salt, N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl) ethylenediamine, using male ICR mice bone marrow cells for the screening of micronucleus induction. Although these three chemicals have already been tested numerous times, a micronucleus test has not been conducted. The seven week-old male ICR mice were tested at three dosages for the three chemicals, respectively. After 24 h of oral administration with the three chemicals, the mice were sacrificed and their bone marrow cells were prepared for smearing slides. As a result of counting the micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte (MNPCE) of 2,000 polychromatic erythrocytes, all treated groups expressed no statistically significant increase of MNPCE compared to the negative control group. There were no clinical signs related with the oral exposure of these three chemicals. It was concluded that these three chemicals did not induce micronucleus in the bone marrow cells of ICR mice, and there was no direct proportion with dosage. These results indicate that the three chemicals have no mutagenic potential under each test condition, and it is not classified these chemicals as mutagens by GHS.

Cyclohexanone의 GHS 분류 기준에 따른 화학물질의 변이원성 구분을 위해, 다른 연구에서는 아직까지 수행된 바 없는 ICR계 마우스의 골수세포를 이용하는 in vivo 소핵시험을 수행하였다. 7주령의 수컷 ICR계 마우스에 동 시험물질의 3가지 농도를 투여하였으며, 경구투여 24시간 후에 도살, 골수세포를 채취하여 슬라이드 표본을 제작하였고, 2,000개의 다염성적혈구 중 소핵을 갖는 다염성 적혈구(MNPCE)를 계수하였다. 모든 투여군에서 cyclohexanone은 골수세포의 증식을 억제하지 않았으며, 소핵을 유발하였다. 이 골수세포를 이용한 소핵시험의 결과로 동 시험물질(cyclohexanone)은 GHS 분류기준에 의거, 변이원성 구분2로 분류하였다.

The hazards of chemicals can be classified using classification criteria that are based on physical, chemical and ecotoxicological endpoints. These criteria may be developed be iteratively, based on scientific or regulatory processes. A number of national and international schemes have been developed over the past 50 years, and some, such as the UN Dangerous Goods system or the EC system for hazardous substances, are in widespread use. However, the unnecessarily complicated multiplicity of existing hazard classifications created much unnecessary confusion at the user level, and a recommendation was made at the 1992 Rio Earth summit to develop a globally harmonized chemical hazard classification and compatible labelling system, including material safety data sheets and easily understandable symbols, that could be used for manufacture, transport, use and disposal of chemical substances. This became the globally harmonized system for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The developmental phase of the GHS is largely complete. Consistent criteria for categorizing chemicals according to their toxic, physical, chemical and ecological hazards are now available. Consistent hazard communication tools such as labelling and material safety data sheets are also close to finalizations. The next phase is implementation of the GHS. The Intergovernmental Forum for Chemical Safety recommends that all countries implement the GHS as soon as possible with a view to have the system fully operational by 2008. When the GHS is in place, the world will finally have one system for classification of chemical hazards.

Background: The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) was developed to enhance chemical classification and hazard communication systems worldwide. However, some of the elements such as building blocks and data sources have the potential to cause "disharmony" to the GHS, particularly in its classification results. It is known that some countries have developed their own lists of classified chemicals in accordance with the GHS to "standardize" the classification results within their respective countries. However, the lists of classified chemicals may not be consistent among these countries. Method: In this study, the lists of classified chemicals developed by the European Union, Japan, Malaysia, and New Zealand were selected for comparison of classification results for carcinogenicity, germ cell mutagenicity, and reproductive toxicity. Results: The findings show that only 54%, 66%, and 37% of the classification results for each Carcinogen, Mutagen and Reproductive toxicants hazard classes, respectively are the same among the selected countries. This indicates a "moderate" level of consistency among the classified chemicals lists. Conclusion: By using classification results for the carcinogenicity, germ cell mutagenicity, and reproductive toxicity hazard classes, this study demonstrates the "disharmony" in the classification results among the selected countries. We believe that the findings of this study deserve the attention of the relevant international bodies.

The HS Convention is an agreement on the harmonized commodity description and coding system enacted by the World Customs Organization in January 1988 to promote international trade and unify the commodity classification systems internationally, and the seventh revision will take effect in January 2022. This study's main purpose is to consider criteria for classifying unmanned autonomous transport systems(UATS) in accordance with Section 17 of the HS nomenclature and to present recommendations for improvement of laws related to tariff classification which may be used to amend related laws in Korea. Currently, there are no provisions within the HS Nomenclature that classify unmanned autonomous transportation systems and equipments. Although such technologies have yet to be commercially deployed, they are being actively developed globally. Thus, this study aims to classify UATS and suggest appropriate amendments to the new edition of the HS Nomenclature and Korean law. This paper examines advance ruling cases from domestic and foreign HS classification under the revision of the HS Convention and the criteria for the classification of UATS and Domestic Korean and foreign classification case studies were investigated, along with a survey of the literature on UATS, in order to derive reasonable tariff classification criteria and present legislative implications. In conclusion, this study aims to provide legislative recommendations for how to improve the system to apply the revisions to the HS Convention to the domestic Korean statutes.
