Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Global Chemical Compliance

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) form the foundation of chemical safety and regulatory compliance. With evolving global frameworks such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards in the United States, the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulations in the European Union, the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) in Canada, and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), maintaining accurate and compliant SDS documentation has become increasingly complex for organizations managing diverse chemical portfolios.

Freyr provides end-to-end SDS management solutions designed to help companies navigate these regulatory requirements efficiently while ensuring safety, compliance, and operational excellence across global markets.

What is an SDS?

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a standardized document that provides essential information on the hazards, safe handling, storage, transport, and disposal of chemical substances and mixtures. It plays a critical role in ensuring chemical safety throughout the supply chain and is a key compliance requirement under the REACH and CLP regulations in the European Union.

Why is an SDS Important?

Under REACH regulations, manufacturers and importers are responsible for ensuring the safe use of chemicals throughout the supply chain. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and extended Safety Data Sheets (eSDS) are essential tools for communicating risk and ensuring compliance.

SDS documentation supports:

• Communication of chemical hazards and recommended safety measures

• Safe storage, handling, transport, and disposal of substances and mixtures

• Compliance with classification and labeling requirements under CLP

• Provision of exposure scenario information for substances and mixtures

• Regulatory compliance for substances manufactured or imported at ≥10 tonnes per year per registrant

By ensuring accurate and up-to-date SDS documentation, organizations can meet global regulatory obligations while protecting workers, consumers, and the environment.
