We guarantee your SDS (Ficha de Dados de Segurança) is accurate, compliant with the latest EU standards, and adheres to the national language mandate.

🇵🇹 Why SDS (FDS) Is Mandatory in Portugal

Portugal directly implements all EU chemical legislation through its national legal framework, with compliance overseen by the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT) and the Directorate-General of Health (DGS).

  • REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006: Sets the mandatory 16-section structure and content of the SDS (latest format via Regulation (EU) 2020/878, mandatory since January 2023).

  • CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008: Governs GHS-based classification, labelling, and packaging of substances and mixtures.

  • Language Mandate: The SDS must be made available in Portuguese (Português).

  • Annex VIII to CLP: Mandates Poison Centre Notification (PCN) to the relevant Portuguese authority, supported by the Unique Formula Identifier (UFI).

A compliant SDS (FDS) for the Portuguese market must be:

  1. Prepared as per the EU Regulation (EU) 2020/878 format.

  2. Written entirely in Portuguese.

  3. Required to include the Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) for hazardous mixtures in Section 1.

  4. PCN-ready to support mandatory submission of notification information to the Poison Information Center (CIAV).
