FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between MSDS and SDS?

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is the older name. Under the UN GHS, EU REACH and OSHA HazCom the document is called SDS (Safety Data Sheet) and follows a standard 16-section format. Both names refer to the same document.

Who needs a safety data sheet?

Suppliers of hazardous substances and mixtures must provide an SDS to professional users and customers. Distributors, logistics companies, marketplaces and customs often ask for one even for non-classified products.

Do cosmetic products need an SDS?

Finished cosmetic products are generally exempt from the REACH SDS obligation, but raw materials, fragrance compounds and many B2B customers and carriers require one. We prepare SDSs for cosmetics, chemicals, detergents and raw materials.

Which countries and languages do you cover?

We prepare SDSs for 73 countries in 48 languages — all of Europe, the USA and Canada, Latin America, China, Japan, Korea, South-East Asia, Australia and the Gulf. Use the market finder above to see each country's format and language.

My EU SDS is a few years old. Is it still valid?

Since 1 January 2023 all EU SDSs must follow REACH Annex II as amended by Regulation (EU) 2020/878 (for example nanoforms, endocrine-disrupting properties and the UFI). We review existing SDSs and update them.

How long does it take?

It depends on the complexity of the product and the number of countries. After reviewing your documents we give you a firm timeline in the quote; translations of an existing, compliant SDS are usually fastest.

Is my formula kept confidential?

Yes. Your composition is used only to prepare your documents and we sign a non-disclosure agreement on request.
