SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Republic of Nicaragua 🇳🇮
SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Preparation & Registration Services for Nicaragua
By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Partner for GHS Compliance in Central America
Nicaragua has formally adopted the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemical classification and hazard communication through national regulations, most notably the Regulation for the Environmentally Sound Management of Hazardous Chemical Substances in Nicaragua. The provision of a compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS), known as a "Hoja de Datos de Seguridad," is a mandatory requirement for legal circulation and registration.
Why SDS Is Mandatory in Nicaragua (GHS & Registration)
The legal requirement for robust safety documentation is established by the state's control over hazardous substances and its commitment to international safety standards:
GHS Mandatory Implementation: Chapter V, Article 151, of the national regulation explicitly states that the GHS will be used at the national level to define hazards, classify chemical products, and communicate information in labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
Mandatory Registration: Hazardous chemical substances must be registered with the Competent National Authority (ANC). The primary body managing the control of toxic and hazardous substances is the Comisión Nacional de Registro y Control de Sustancias Tóxicas (CNRCST). The SDS is a mandatory document for the registration and import authorization process.
Workplace Safety (OSH): Article 227 mandates that all workplaces where chemicals are handled must have a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or SDS for the substances or mixtures present, ensuring workers are informed of the risks.
Language Requirement: The SDS and all related hazard communication materials (labels, safety instructions) must be provided in Spanish (Español), the official language of Nicaragua, for legal compliance, regulatory submission, and effective workplace communication.
A compliant SDS for Nicaragua must be:
Format: The mandatory 16-section SDS format, with the order of information identical to the GHS standard (Article 227).
Language Specific: Written entirely in Spanish.
Content: Must include GHS-aligned classification and detailed safety information consistent with national OSH and environmental requirements.
