What is SDS?
The full English name of SDS is Safety Data Sheet-literally translated as "Safety Data Sheet".
Since SDS reports are basically required for chemical transportation, SDS reports are basically for chemicals, so they are also called "chemical safety technical instructions" or "chemical safety instructions" or "chemical safety data instructions.
In some old regulations and standards, it is also called Material Safety Data Sheet (Material Safety Data Sheet). Therefore, people are more used to calling it MSDS in their work. However, the latest UN GHS system, China's national standard, EU CLP and other current regulations/standards have uniformly referred to it as SDS for short.
In most cases, the SDS has no special validity period and should be updated according to the "actual situation.
Scope of application of SDS
Substances classified as hazardous chemicals or mixtures containing hazardous chemicals;
Containing a certain proportion of substances of high concern (SVHC); substances judged as persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT); substances with high persistence and bioaccumulative (vPvB);
Required by the competent authority or the importer.
In principle, non-hazardous chemicals (commodities, consumer goods, etc.) do not need to provide SDS, but in reality this is often not the case, such as booking, transportation and other actual operations will also be required to provide.
