The following article provides detailed information on how to manage Dangerous/Hazardous Goods Data in Shared Products for any retailer.
The section is found under DECLARATIONS. It should be completed for all goods classified as either Hazardous or if it is considered Dangerous to transport.
To complete the data attributes, you will need the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
The link to an example SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is here.
The example SDS covers the following:
- Location of required data attributes.
- Which attributes need to be populated.
Highlighted in yellow are the required data attributes in the SDS that you will use when filling out Dangerous/Hazardous goods attribute.
Next to the required data attributes, there is red text specifying which field these data attributes populate.
A section in Example SDS:
In your SDS If there is data in;
- Section 2 Hazards Identification, then your product is classified as a Hazardous good.
- Section 14 Transport information, then your product is classified as a Dangerous good.
If the SDS for your product does not have either of these sections, then you can leave these blank in Shared Products.
For the field GHS Hazard Category, if a specific classification is not available in the drop-down menu, it can be left out.
For the SDS Issue date, If there is a revision date available, select the revision date.
Please Note: Most of our data recipients, need HSNO Classification irrespective of when the SDS was from since it's still a requirement for the NZ WorkSafe requirement, and so WorkSafe mandates that HSNO Classification be provided for products irrespective of GHS being provided. So, both attributes, "GHS Hazard Category" and "HSNO Classification", are relevant for complying with NZ regulations.
