Safety Data Sheets

Safety data sheets (SDSs) are often the most important source of information for the users of chemicals. There have been several changes to the regulations concerning the classification of chemical products since SDS legislation was first introduced in 1993, most recently: Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP), which is the EU implementation of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The requirements for safety data sheets are now laid down in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), with specific details given in REACH Annex II as revised in May 2010 by Regulation (EC) No 453/2010.
