What is a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS)?
A Material Safety Data Sheet (now referred to as SDS under the Globally Harmonised System) is a document that provides detailed information on the properties, handling, storage, and emergency measures related to a chemical substance or mixture.
Are Material Safety Data Sheets legally required?
Yes. Safety data sheets are mandatory for substances and mixtures classified as hazardous under global regulations such as REACH (EU/UK) and OSHA (US). They must follow the 16-section GHS format.
How often should SDS be updated?
SDS must be reviewed regularly and updated whenever new regulatory information, hazard data, or composition details become available. Many businesses choose to review them annually to stay compliant.
What information do I need to provide for you to create an SDS?
We typically require your raw material formulation or INCI list, along with any available supplier data. From this, our experts prepare a compliant safety data sheet with all 16 sections completed.
