A safety data sheet (SDS) is an information system about a chemical substance or a chemical mixture which - similar to the package insert of a medicine - contains the most important information about the respective product in a brief and clear manner and accompanies it throughout its entire supply chain.
Responsibility for who must provide the safety data sheet
As a rule, the manufacturer or importer of a chemical substance or mixture is responsible for preparing and providing a safety data sheet (SDS) in accordance with the applicable regulations and laws. This responsibility lies primarily with the person or organization that places the product on the market or manufactures it.
