Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for Swiss ChemO Compliance (EU REACH/CLP Aligned)
Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized Safety Data Sheet (SDS) services tailored specifically to meet the mandatory requirements of the Swiss Chemicals Ordinance (ChemO). We ensure your SDS is accurate, compliant with the EU-aligned standards (latest Regulation (EU) 2020/878), and adheres to the trilingual and notification mandates unique to Switzerland.
🇨🇭 Why SDS Is Mandatory in Switzerland
Chemical safety in Switzerland is governed by the Chemicals Act (ChemA) and the Chemicals Ordinance (ChemO), with primary enforcement by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN).
EU Alignment: ChemO requires classification, labelling, and SDS format/content to align with the principles of the EU CLP Regulation and REACH Annex II.
Trilingual Requirement: The SDS must be provided in at least two of the three official languages of Switzerland: German, French, and Italian. The language(s) used must correspond to the region where the product is placed on the market.
Unique Notification: Hazardous preparations (mixtures), biocidal products, and fertilizers must be notified to the Swiss Product Register (RPC) within three months of placing them on the market.
UFI Requirement: Switzerland has adopted the Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) for notified hazardous products, aligning with the EU's Annex VIII to CLP.
A compliant SDS for the Swiss market must be:
Prepared in the 16-section format, consistent with EU Regulation (EU) 2020/878.
Provided in at least two official languages (German, French, Italian).
Adapted with mandatory Swiss national information in specific sections.
