GOST R 58475-2019 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 58475-2019. Паспорт безопасности химической продукции. Общие требования — "Chemical production safety passport. General requirements". The document defines the form and minimum content of a safety passport intended to be included in the technical/accompanying documentation for chemical products to inform users about safe industrial use, storage, transport and disposal, and about safe household use where applicable.

Abstract

This national standard (designated 58475-2019) was prepared to establish general requirements for a chemical safety passport (паспорт безопасности) — a concise, mandatory component of product documentation that provides essential safety information for manufacturers, suppliers and end users. It specifies the required sections, minimum data elements, exclusions and the passport’s role within technical documentation. The standard was approved in 2019 but its planned introduction was cancelled by Rosstandart before coming into force.

General information

• Status: Cancelled / introduction withdrawn — the Rosstandart order No. 424‑ст (30 May 2022) annulled the orders that would have put GOST R 58475-2019 into effect.
• Publication date: Approved 8 August 2019 (designation includes 2019); intended date of introduction 1 June 2022 (introduction was subsequently cancelled).
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart).
• ICS / categories: OKS/ICS 13.100 (chemical safety / chemical products).
• Edition / version: GOST R 58475-2019 (approved by Rosstandart order of 8 August 2019, Order No. 456‑ст).
• Number of pages: 16 pages (electronic PDF form in published databases).

Scope

The standard sets out general requirements for the content, structure and use of a chemical production safety passport that is intended to accompany chemical products and supply reliable information on safe industrial use, storage, transport and disposal, and information for household use where relevant. It was drafted to apply broadly to manufactured chemical products but explicitly excludes certain categories (examples cited in the text: minerals in situ, finished medicinal and veterinary products, finished perfumery and cosmetic products, finished food products and certain other regulated product types). The planned introduction of this national standard was cancelled in May 2022 in favour of corresponding interstate standards.

Key topics and requirements

• Mandatory structure and minimum data elements for a chemical safety passport (identification, composition, hazard information, recommended safe-handling measures, emergency and first-aid actions, storage/transport/disposal instructions).
• Requirements for harmonization with hazard classification and labelling rules (cross-references to relevant classification and labelling standards).
• Exclusions and special cases where a passport is not required (specific product categories listed in the standard).
• Role of the passport within accompanying technical documentation and responsibilities of manufacturers/suppliers to provide accurate information.
• Formatting and presentation guidance to ensure clarity for industrial users, transporters, and emergency responders.

Typical use and users

Intended users include chemical manufacturers, formulators, importers, distributors, industrial safety officers, regulatory authorities, emergency responders and testing laboratories. The passport was designed to be used as part of product dossiers for regulatory compliance, risk communication to downstream users, and as an information source for occupational safety and transport documentation.

Related standards

Normative and related documents referenced include other GOST/GOST R standards on hazard classification and labelling (the 58473 and 58474 series) and earlier/parallel documents on safety passports. The planned national set (GOST R 58473‑2019, GOST R 58474‑2019 and GOST R 58475‑2019) was superseded in practice by adoption of interstate standards (for example, standards published in 2022 such as GOST 30333‑2022, GOST 32419‑2022 and GOST 31340‑2022), which led to cancellation of the national introduction orders. Historical predecessor: GOST 30333-2007 (previous passport requirements).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 58475-2019 is a Russian national standard titled "Паспорт безопасности химической продукции. Общие требования" (Chemical production safety passport — general requirements), developed to define the required content and role of a safety passport for chemical products.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the form, minimum content and function of a chemical safety passport (identification, composition, hazard information, safe-handling, emergency measures, storage/transport/disposal guidance), plus exclusions for certain product categories. It was intended to be part of accompanying technical documentation for chemical products.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, importers, distributors, safety and compliance officers, regulatory agencies, emergency responders and testing laboratories — anyone responsible for providing or using chemical product safety information.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The national introduction of GOST R 58475-2019 was cancelled by Rosstandart (Order No. 424‑ст) on 30 May 2022, so it was withdrawn before coming into force; corresponding interstate standards published in 2022 are used instead. Key dates: approved 8 August 2019; intended entry into force 1 June 2022; cancellation order dated 30 May 2022.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it formed a set with companion documents addressing hazard classification and warning labelling (GOST R 58473‑2019 and GOST R 58474‑2019). That national trio was later set aside in favour of interstate standards addressing the same subject matter.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Chemical safety passport; passport of safety; hazard classification; labelling; chemical product documentation; Rosstandart; GOST R; safe handling; storage; transport; emergency measures.
