REACH: Optimise the collection and update of your SDS

Governed by REACH Regulation, the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a mandatory document. 

A SDS contains data on the properties of a given chemical substance. It must be distributed by the manufacturers/distributors of a product to its customers and in their language. 

In view of the constant evolution of regulatory standards (CLP, GHS, HazCom, etc.), updating the SDS is essential. It is essential to collect all the necessary information from your suppliers.

Note: ever since the Forum’s last announcements, national and customs controls have been strengthened. Bringing your Safety Data Sheets into compliance has become a real strategic challenge.
