Insights into how the changes will affect safety data sheets
Under the EU’s REACH Regulation, hazardous chemicals manufactured in, or imported into, the EU must be accompanied by an SDS. Annex II to the Regulation describes how SDSs – which are used to provide detailed information on chemical substances and mixtures – should be compiled. Advances in scientific and technical knowledge about substances have led to many changes and adaptations to existing regulatory instruments.
This webinar provided a detailed overview of these changes and how they will affect the requirements set out in the compilation of SDSs.
