With years of experience in global regulatory support, we ensure your SDS is accurate, compliant with local standards, and ready for regulatory submission, import, or use.
Why SDS Is Mandatory in Tanzania
Tanzania's chemical management framework is primarily governed by the Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act No. 3 of 2003 (ICCA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act No. 5 of 2003.
The main regulatory bodies responsible for enforcing chemical safety and requiring SDS documentation are:
Government Chemist Laboratory Authority (GCLA): The key regulator for industrial and consumer chemicals under the ICCA, responsible for classification, control, and management of Dangerous Goods. The GCLA often requires the SDS for import permits and registration.
Occupational Safety and Health Authority (OSHA): Enforces the requirement for employers to provide information on hazardous chemicals to workers under the OSH Act.
Tanzania Medicines and Medical Devices Authority (TMDA): Regulates raw materials and chemicals used in pharmaceuticals.
A compliant SDS for Tanzania must be:
Format: Prepared in the internationally recognized 16-section SDS format (GHS aligned), as recommended by the GCLA and international best practice.
Language Specific: Written in English (the official language for business and technical documentation).
Legally Referenced: Must support compliance with the ICCA and its Regulations of 2020 (or latest revision), as well as the OSH Act 2003.
Zoesoe Exports ensures your documentation meets these national mandates and international best practices for chemical management.
