On 9 October 2015, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare published Mexican Official Standard NOM-018-STPS-2015 “Harmonized System for the Identification and Communication of Hazards and Risks of Hazardous Chemicals in the Workplace” (Sistema armonizado para la identificación y comunicación de peligros y riesgos por sustancias químicas peligrosas en los centros de trabajo). This standard implements the 5th revised edition of the GHS (GHS Rev.5) in Mexico for the workplace and became mandatory on 8 October 2018.

 

Following its entry into force, the previous standard NOM-018-STPS-2000 (published on 27 October 2000) and amendments thereto (of 2 January 2001 and 6 September 2013) were repealed.
