Publisher:Admin  Source:  Date:2020/7/7
On 26 Jun 2020, Regulation (EU) 2020/878 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). This regulation amends the requirements for the compilation of SDS under ANNEX II of REACH. The new regulation comes into force on 1 Jan 2021, existing SDS can be used until 31 December 2022.


Highlights of the amendment are summarised as below:

• If the safety data sheet pertains to one or more nanoforms, or substances that include nanoforms, this shall be indicated by using the word “nanoform” in product identifier in the section 1 of SDS.


• All pages of a safety data sheet, including any annexes, shall be numbered and shall bear either an indication of the length of the safety data sheet (such as “page 1 of 3”) or an indication whether there is a page following (such as “Continued on next page” or “End of safety data sheet”).


• Where a mixture has a unique formula identifier (UFI) in accordance with Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and that UFI is indicated in the safety data sheet, then the UFI shall be provided in section 1.


• The communication through the supply chain for endocrine disruptors will be improved.Not only information on whether the substance meets the criteria for persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic or very persistent and very bioaccumulative should be given in section 2.3 other hazards, information on whether the substance was included in the list established in accordance with Article 59(1) forhaving endocrine disrupting properties, and whether the substance is a substance identified as having endocrine disrupting properties.


• The language used in the safety data sheet shall be simple, clear and precise, avoiding jargon, acronyms and abbreviations. Statements such as “may be dangerous”, “no health effects”, “safe under most conditions of use” or “harmless” or any other statements indicating that the substance or mixture is not hazardous or any other statements that are inconsistent with the classification of that substance or mixture shall not be used.
