What is SDS/MSDS?

SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is an important document that conveys chemical hazards, operational protection, storage, transportation and emergency information to downstream users. MSDS is a commonly used name in history. In actual business, the two usually refer to similar documents.

SDS usually contains 16 parts

1. Chemical and company identification
2. Hazard summary
3. Ingredient/composition information
4. First aid measures
5. Firefighting measures
6. Accidental leakage treatment
7. Handling and storage
8. Exposure control Preparation and personal protection
9. Physical and chemical properties
10. Stability and reactivity
11. Toxicological information
12. Ecological information
13. Disposal
14. Transportation information
15. Regulatory information
16. Other information

Under what circumstances is SDS required?

• Customers, importers, e-commerce platforms or supply chain requirements;
• Hazardous chemical production, operation, storage, transportation and use management;
• Products exported or entered into new countries and regions;
• Changes in formulas, classifications, regulations or supplier information;
• Existing SDS pointed out that the content is missing, the version is out of date or the labels are inconsistent.

Can one SDS be used in all countries?

Usually not directly considered "global". Different markets may have different requirements for classification rules, languages, emergency telephone numbers, exposure limits, regulatory information and supplier information, which should be adapted according to the target country or region.

What do you need to prepare before preparation?

It is recommended to provide product name, usage, complete formula or ingredient information, physical and chemical data, existing SDS, testing data, packaging method, target country and language. The more complete the information, the more reliable the classification and document content will be.
