In global trade, safety and compliance are non-negotiable.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) play a vital role in ensuring the smooth international movement of goods, especially hazardous substances. Regulations like the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and REACH in the European Union have made it mandatory for businesses to ensure that their products have compliant SDS documentation. These documents provide critical information on chemical hazards, handling instructions, and first-aid measures.
Key Points:
- Global Regulations: Different countries have their own regulatory requirements for SDS. For example, REACH in the EU, OSHA in the US, and JIS in Japan each impose specific obligations on businesses.
- The Impact of Non-Compliance: Missing or incomplete SDS can lead to penalties, product seizures, or shipment delays, which can severely affect business operations.
- ICSDS Expertise: At ICSDS, we ensure that SDSs are meticulously prepared and updated to comply with international regulations. Our experts handle regulatory variations across regions to help your products move freely across borders without compliance issues.
