A Safety Data Sheet (SDS), formerly called a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), is a document that contains comprehensive information on the properties and hazards of a substance or mixture, protective measures and safety precautions.
Its purpose is to give clear instructions for safe use, which protects people and the environment.
SDSs are intended for professional users and handlers of the product, and they should always be received from the supplier. Under REACH, a supplier must provide an SDS for:
For hazardous products sold to the general public with sufficient safety information, an SDS does not have to be supplied unless a downstream user or distributor asks for one (REACH Article 31).
For the full EU format and all 16 sections, see our guide to EU Safety Data Sheet requirements and format.
We prepare new Safety Data Sheets from your product information, for the markets where your product is manufactured, distributed or sold.
Your Safety Data Sheet is created by assessing the product formulation against the local regulations where the product is manufactured, distributed or sold.
All our Safety Data Sheets are written in compliance with local regulations (GHS and CLP) and the international harmonised regulations on the transport of dangerous goods.
Compliant SDSs for:
Different countries and regions have implemented their own SDS rules based on the UN GHS.
The SDS must meet all requirements of the local regulations where the product is manufactured or placed on the market, including the required content, standard phrases and format. In most countries it must be written in the official language(s).
We author SDSs to the legislation of over 60 countries.
On request, we evaluate the existing data and relevant regulations and advise on options for reformulation to minimise the hazard classification of the product, or for substitution of hazardous ingredients with safer ones.
We can apply your logo and colour theme to the document for a customised look. You can also fully outsource the authoring and distribution of your Safety Data Sheets to Chementors.
Each of these has its own page with full details.
Translations of Safety Data Sheets in over 40 languages, authored according to the local legislation of your target country.
Exposure scenario development, eSDS compilation, review of received eSDSs and mixture support under EU REACH.
Tailored solutions for updating and revising your Safety Data Sheets based on country-specific regulations and hazard classifications.
In some countries it is legally required that the SDS is prepared by a person with relevant and sufficient competency.
Our team has extensive know-how in chemistry and chemical law, with regular refresher training to keep up with revisions in global chemical regulations.
We use our up-to-date tools, which integrate the requirements and criteria of local regulations in over 60 countries. At each step, our experts assess the details and check the whole content for quality.
During the process we keep responsive communication with you, so that all project needs and legal requirements are met. Our goal is an SDS that is legally compliant, scientifically meaningful and visually sleek.

View Antti's profileSome substances and mixtures need more than the standard SDS.
For substances registered at 10 tonnes per year or more where the applicable hazard criteria trigger an exposure assessment, the relevant exposure scenarios are communicated to downstream users through the SDS. That document is an Extended Safety Data Sheet, or eSDS.
For mixtures, the requirements can be more complex. Suppliers may need to incorporate relevant safe-use information from the exposure scenarios of hazardous ingredients into the mixture SDS to ensure that appropriate risk management measures are communicated to downstream users.
We prepare exposure scenarios and eSDS documentation, and review eSDSs you have received. See our Extended Safety Data Sheet (eSDS) authoring service.
Jani Määttä and Dr. Jan Nylund founded Chementors in 2012 because of the increasing need for regulatory consulting in the chemical industry, based on their own previous experience in the field.
We cooperate closely with the authorities, so we are up to date on changes in laws and regulations, and we have an extensive network of companies in various market areas.
Meet Jani Määttä and Dr. Jan Nylund.
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is the former name of the same document. Under GHS-based regulations it is called a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), but many markets still use the term MSDS.
The company must have Safety Data Sheets for substances and mixtures that it manufactures or imports to the EU. Preparing SDSs requires specific expertise, so the company can use a professional consultant, such as Chementors, to prepare them.
All companies that supply chemicals are responsible for the correct content of Safety Data Sheets and their distribution, even if they did not prepare them themselves. Chementors offers various solutions for authoring, translating, and distributing Safety Data Sheets according to up-to-date regulations.
Substances and mixtures classified as hazardous, PBT and vPvB substances, and substances of very high concern (SVHC).
On request, an SDS must also be provided for certain mixtures that are not classified as hazardous but contain hazardous substances above set concentration limits.
The supplier must provide the SDS to the customer when the chemical is delivered for the first time, and again when the SDS has been updated.
The SDS can be delivered, for example, as a PDF file by email or on paper.
Providing it only on a website is not enough: it must be provably delivered, for example as a permanent link that leads directly to the SDS file.
SDSs must be provided in the official language of each country: see our SDS translation services.
We tailor the price case by case, for example according to the order quantity. You can order one or more SDSs at a time.
Yes, you can outsource various chemical safety tasks to Chementors. Contact us to learn more about outsourcing.
Our standard delivery time is 5 to 10 business days once the necessary information is available. With our Express Delivery Service, delivery takes 1 to 2 business days.
Yes. We provide translations of Safety Data Sheets according to local legislation in over 40 languages. See our SDS translation services.
