UPDATING SAFETY DATA SHEETS
Safety data sheets are valid as long as the information they contain is correct and complete. The REACH legislation, in which the requirements for the SDS are determined, says in art 31 paragraph 9: “Suppliers shall update the safety data sheet without delay on the following occasions:
- as soon as new information which may affect the risk management measures, or new information on hazards becomes available;
- once an authorisation has been granted or refused;
- once a restriction has been imposed.”
This means that you have to continuously check and update your SDSs. We therefore recommend a fixed review period of 1x per year or 1x per 2 years, depending on the type of products. If you combine a fixed review period with good planning (such as with our SDS subscription), you keep in touch with changes in legislation and regulations and you can spread work and costs well.
The REACH legislation, in which the requirements for the SDS are determined, says in art 31 paragraph 9: “The new, dated version of the information, identified as "Revision: (date)", shall be provided free of charge on paper or electronically to all former recipients to whom they have supplied the substance or preparation within the preceding 12 months.”
Yes, this also applies if the product is no longer supplied. Anyone who has received the substance or mixture in the last 12 months before the update is entitled to the revised SDS.
Yes, changes to the SDS during an update must be stated in Section 16 (unless stated elsewhere).
