SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Preparation & Review Services for India 🇮🇳 (Panaji-Goa Focus)
GHS, Import Compliance, and Goa SPCB Regulation Readiness
By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for the Goa Chemical & Port Industry
Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized SDS Preparation and Review Services tailored for industries operating in Panaji and the state of Goa, particularly around the industrial and port areas like Mormugao and Pilerne. As a coastal state with sensitive ecological zones, Goa enforces strict chemical regulations through the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) and the Inspectorate of Factories and Boilers.
Why SDS is Critical in Panaji-Goa
The SDS is a mandatory legal document required for every step of the chemical lifecycle—from import clearance at Mormugao Port to use in factories and disposal of waste.
The legal basis for the SDS stems from:
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 [Source 3.4, 4.3].
Import Compliance: Any person importing hazardous chemicals into Goa (e.g., via Mormugao Port) must provide the complete product safety information (SDS) to the GSPCB before or by the date of import (Rule 18) [Source 4.1].
The Factories Act, 1948 & Inspectorate of Factories and Boilers (State Enforcement): The Goa Inspectorate of Factories and Boilers enforces worker safety, requiring the SDS for hazard communication (Rule 17) and for determining appropriate safety measures and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) [Source 3.1, 3.4].
Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB): The GSPCB relies heavily on the SDS for enforcing:
Hazardous Waste Management: Data in the SDS (especially Sections 12 & 13) is essential for obtaining Hazardous Waste Authorization under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. This data determines the composition and proper disposal (e.g., incineration at the Common TSDF site at Pissurlem) [Source 2.2, 2.3, 2.5].
Public Display: For hazardous waste generators, the GSPCB requires the unit to display details, which are based on the SDS, on an online board at the main gate in English and Konkani languages [Source 2.5].
Upcoming CMSR (India REACH): The impending Chemicals (Management and Safety) Rules (CMSR) will 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).
A Compliant Panaji-Goa SDS must be:
Format: The internationally recognized 16-section GHS format (aligned with the detailed structure outlined in Schedule 9 of the MSIHC Rules) .
Language: Primarily provided in English.
Content: Classified and detailed to satisfy GSPCB import clearance and stringent environmental waste management rules due to Goa's ecologically sensitive environment [Source 1.4].

Worker Protection: Detailed information in Section 8 (PPE, Exposure Limits) required for Factory Inspectorate audits and compliance with the Goa Factories (Occupational Safety and Health Audit) Rules, 2014 [Source 3.5].
