Approximately 2700 chemicals have been classified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) as part of Japan’s implementation of GHS. These classifications are represented in Pharos, including all revisions since 2006, except for the hazard class "Gases under pressure" and "Not applicable", "Not classified", or "Classification not possible" listings.
