Adoption of the SGA model in Mexico
On October 9, 2015, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare published the Official Mexican Regulation NOM-018-STPS-2015 “Harmonized system for the identification and communication of hazards and risks by hazardous substances in the workplace”. This regulation implements the fifth revised edition of the SGA in Mexico for the workplace.

The regulation establishes a transitory period for the implementation of 3 years after its publication in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF). During the period of transition, employers have the option to comply with the previous regulation NOM-018-STPS-2000 (System for the Identification and Communication of Dangers and Risks by Hazardous Chemical Substances in the workplace), or with the new (NOM-018-STPS-2015).

With the entry into force of the new regulation in October 2018, the regulation NOM-018-STPS-2000 (published in October 27, 2000) and its modification (of January 2, 2001 and September 6, 2013) will be repealed).

Introduction and Background
On June 3, 2011, a national standard, NMX-R-019-SCFI-2011 based on the 3rd revised edition of the GHS, was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation. It can be applied from the day after its publication (that is, on June 4, 2011). The regulation establishes the criteria for the classification and labeling of chemical products and the preparation of safety data sheets according to the GHS and contains 13 chapters and 6 annexes.

Although the regulation is not mandatory, it is authorized to be used as an alternative means to comply with the provisions of Chapters 7 and 8 of the mandatory regulation NOM-018-STPS-2000, which addresses the identification of chemical hazards and their communication of related risks in the workplace.
