The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has added to its already voluminous library of guidance documents that support the REACH chemical control law. The new "
Guidance on the Compilation of Safety Sheets" (Version 1.0, September 2011) provides information on:
- what is new in SDSs according to REACH by comparison with the previous legislation
- issues to consider when compiling an SDS;
- details of the requirements for information to be included in each Section of an SDS, in particular detailing the changes arising from the revisions of Annex II of REACH;
- the timetables for implementation of Annex II and its amended Annexes;
- who should compile the SDS and what competences the author should have.
The guidance document can be downloaded as a PDF file on the
ECHA Guidance web site.
