Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized SDS Preparation and Review Services tailored for industries operating in Nashik and the surrounding industrial areas of Maharashtra, including the major MIDC areas like Satpur and Sinnar. Chemical-handling units in this region, particularly in sectors like pharmaceuticals, wine/beverages, and engineering, are subject to strict compliance requirements enforced by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH).

Why SDS is Critical in Nashik/Maharashtra

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a mandatory legal document required for operational safety, regulatory permitting, and environmental compliance in Nashik.

The legal basis for the SDS stems from:

  1. Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical (MSIHC) Rules, 1989/2000 (Central Law): These rules mandate the provision of a safety data sheet (Schedule 9) for all hazardous chemicals. The SDS provides the essential technical data required for Major Accident Hazard (MAH) planning and worker communication [Source 2.2].

  2. The Factories Act, 1948 & DISH, Maharashtra (State Enforcement): The Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH), with a regional office in Nashik, enforces worker safety. The SDS is the primary technical document used to fulfill the occupier's duty to:

    • Communicate chemical hazards and risks.

    • Determine and specify appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (Section 8) [Source 3.1, 3.2].

    • Ensure mandatory requirements for "Hazardous Factories" (Rule 2(o) of Maharashtra Factories Rules) are met, including the submission of Material Safety Data Sheets [Source 3.4].

  3. Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB): The MPCB Regional Office in Nashik enforces the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 [Source 1.2]. The chemical data within the SDS (Sections 12 & 13) is critical for:

    • Obtaining Consent to Operate (CTO) and Hazardous Waste Authorization (HWA).

    • Documenting the composition of hazardous waste streams for proper disposal at Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) [Source 1.1].

  4. Upcoming CMSR (India REACH): The impending Chemicals (Management and Safety) Rules (CMSR) mandate the maintenance and submission of an up-to-date GHS-compliant SDS during the new Notification and Registration processes for chemicals placed in the Indian territory ($\geq 1$ Tonne Per Annum) [Source 4.2, 4.4].

A Compliant Nashik SDS must be:

  • Format: The internationally recognized 16-section GHS format (aligned with the structure outlined in Schedule 9 of the MSIHC Rules) .

  • Language: Primarily provided in English.

  • Content: Classified and detailed to satisfy both MPCB environmental reporting and DISH workplace safety requirements.
