SDS - Safety Data Sheet
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are a crucial tool. Although the format and content of SDSs are largely harmonized globally thanks to the GHS, each region has its own additional requirements that must be met. It is important for companies to stay up-to-date with legal and regulatory updates to ensure compliance in the markets where they operate.
WHAT IS A SAFETY DATA SHEET?
The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a fundamental document for the management of hazardous chemicals. It provides detailed information on the properties of a substance or mixture, the hazards it may pose, safety measures for handling, storage, and disposal, and how to respond in the event of an emergency.
PURPOSE OF THE SAFETY DATA SHEET
The main objective of the SDS is to ensure safe use, transportation, and handling of chemicals, minimizing risks to human health, the environment, and worker safety. SDSs are essential for manufacturers, distributors, and end users, enabling appropriate measures to be taken to prevent accidents.
SAFETY DATA SHEETS IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
SDS are regulated by specific regulations in each region, which means they must comply with legal requirements adapted to the laws of each country or geographic area.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are not only a legal requirement in many countries, but are also essential for ensuring safe handling of chemicals. By providing detailed information on potential hazards, SDSs enable users to take appropriate measures to prevent accidents, protect worker health, and minimize environmental impacts. Having an accurate SDS that complies with current regulations is crucial for avoiding penalties and operational problems, and protecting a company's reputation in the global marketplace.
UNITED KINGDOM
Following Brexit, the United Kingdom implemented its own regulatory framework for SDS. Although largely based on the European REACH and CLP regulations, the United Kingdom's REACH (UK REACH) now regulates the marketing of chemical substances in the country.
-
Similarity with the EU: The structure of the SDS remains similar to that of the European Union, with 16 mandatory sections.
-
Language: SDS must be in English and comply with local legislation.
-
Registration and Compliance: Products imported or manufactured in the UK must comply with UK REACH and require the submission of the appropriate SDS.
