REACH Regulation Article 31 (8) says that you shall 'provide' a safety data sheet free of charge, on paper or electronically to the recipient. The word ‘provide’ implies a positive duty on behalf of the supplier to actively send the Safety Data Sheet to the customer.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are required by the UK REACH Regulation. SDS are important documents in the safe supply, handling and use of chemicals. They help ensure that those who use...
SDSs are a widely used type of fact sheet used to catalogue information on chemical species including chemical compounds and chemical mixtures. SDS information may include instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product, along with spill-handling procedures.

No specific definition of the “competent person” is given in the Regulation. However the term may usefully be defined in this context as meaning a person (or combination of persons) – or a coordinator of a group of people - who has or have, as a result of their training, experience and continued education, sufficient knowledge for the compilation o...
It should be noted (from the text quoted above) that there is a specific duty on the supplier of the substances and mixtures to ensure that the competent persons have received appropriate training and refresher training. There is no specific indication in the REACH Regulation of the training which the competent person should have or that he should ...
Relevant national provisions, such as (this is a non-exhaustive list) In Germany: Water hazard classes (Wassergefährdungsklassen) Technical instruction air (TA-Luft) Technical rules for hazardous substances (Technische Regeln für Gefahrstoffe) In France: Tableaux de maladies professionnelles Nomenclature des installations classées pour la protectio...
The information requirements are explained in detail in chapter 3. It should be noted that where specific data are not applicable or where data are not available, this must be clearly stated. Where the legal text states “if available”, this means not only that the information exists but that it is accessible to the safety data sheet provider.
The SDS gives information on a very wide range of aspects of occupational health and safety, transport safety and environmental protection. As SDSs are frequently not compiled by just one person but rather by several members of staff, unintended gaps or overlaps cannot be ruled out. Consequently, it is useful to subject the finished SDS and its ann...
According to Article 31 (8) of REACH “A safety data sheet shall be provided free of charge on paper or electronically no later than the date on which the substance or mixture is first supplied.” Thus, the safety data sheet can be provided on paper, for example by letter, by fax or electronically, for example by email. It should be noted however tha...
From marketing and/or logistical aspects it may in certain cases be useful for suppliers to have SDS available for all substances and mixtures, including those for which there is no legal obligation to provide an SDS. In such cases, it may be desirable to indicate in the document that the substance or mixture does not legally require an SDS to avoi...
Suppliers may use an external service provider to access the services of competent persons for the compilation of SDSs, but of course it is still the supplier’s responsibility to provide SDSs that comply with the legal requirements. Parties compiling and issuing SDSs may be supported by relevant software applications. These applications generally...
A large part of the information necessary in order to compile the SDS should already be available to the supplier, as it will have been necessary to gather it for the purposes of other chemicals control legislation, notably in order to determine e.g. the classification, labelling and packaging requirements according to CLP and according to internat...

This section of the safety data sheet shall prescribe how the substance or mixture shall be identified and how the identified relevant uses, the name of the supplier of the substance or mixture and the contact detail information of the supplier of the substance or mixture, including an emergency contact, shall be provided in the safety data sheet.
At least a brief description of the identified uses (for example, floor cleaning, or industrial use in polymer production, or professional use in cleaning agents) relevant for the recipient(s) of the substance or mixture shall be indicated. The uses which the supplier advises against and the reasons why shall, where applicable, be stated. This need...
The supplier of the safety data sheet, whether it is the manufacturer, importer, only representative, downstream user or distributor, shall be identified. The full address and telephone number of the supplier shall be given as well as an e-mail address for a competent person responsible for the safety data sheet. In addition, if the supplier is not...
This section of the safety data sheet shall describe the hazards of the substance or mixture and the appropriate warning information associated with those hazards. The information on classification and labelling given in Section 2 of the SDS must of course be consistent with that on the actual labels for the substance/mixture in question.
This section of the safety data sheet shall describe the initial care in such a way that an untrained responder can understand and provide it without the use of sophisticated equipment and without the availability of a wide selection of medications. If medical attention is required, the instructions shall state this, including its urgency.
Where appropriate, information shall be provided on clinical testing and medical monitoring for delayed effects, specific details on antidotes (where they are known) and contraindications. For some substances or mixtures, it may be important to emphasise that special means to provide specific and immediate treatment shall be available at the workpl...
This section of the safety data sheet shall describe the requirements for fighting a fire caused by the substance or mixture, or arising in its vicinity.
Suitable extinguishing media: Information shall be provided on the appropriate extinguishing media. Unsuitable extinguishing media: Indications shall be given whether any extinguishing media are inappropriate for a particular situation involving the substance or mixture (e.g. avoid high pressure media which could cause the formation of a potentiall...
Information shall be provided on hazards that may arise from the substance or mixture, like hazardous combustion products that form when the substance or mixture burns, such as “may produce toxic fumes of carbon monoxide if burning” or “produces oxides of sulphur and nitrogen on combustion”. This subsection includes information about any specific h...
Advice shall be provided on any protective actions to be taken during firefighting, such as “keep containers cool with water spray”, and on special protective equipment for firefighters, such as boots, overalls, gloves, eye and face protection and breathing apparatus. It can be emphasized that no chemical protective clothing will afford protection ...
This section of the safety data sheet shall recommend the appropriate response to spills, leaks, or releases, to prevent or minimise the adverse effects on persons, property and the environment. It shall distinguish between responses to large and small spills, in cases where the spill volume has a significant impact on the hazard. If the procedures...
Advice shall be provided on any environmental precautions to be taken related to accidental spills and release of the substance or mixture, such as keeping away from drains, surface and ground water. [The text above is considered as needing no further explanation].
The advice provided shall be consistent with the physical and chemical properties described in Section 9 of the safety data sheet. If relevant, advice shall be provided on specific storage requirements including: How to manage risks associated with: explosive atmospheres; corrosive conditions; flammability hazards; incompatible substances or mixtur...
This section of the safety data sheet shall describe the applicable occupational exposure limits and necessary risk management measures.
