By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for the Thane Industrial Corridor
Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized SDS Preparation and Review Services for industries in Thane and its adjacent industrial areas, including the highly chemical-intensive Tarapur MIDC and the general industrial estates within the Thane Municipal Corporation Area. Compliance in this region is strictly monitored by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) Regional Office, Thane, and the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH), which focuses heavily on Major Accident Hazard (MAH) prevention.
Why SDS is Critical in Thane/Tarapur
The SDS is a mandatory legal document that forms the basis of all chemical risk management and emergency planning in the Thane industrial zone, which has a significant number of chemical, pharmaceutical, and textile processing units.
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 2.3].
MAH Compliance: The SDS provides the necessary data for identifying hazards, which is the foundational step for preparing statutory Safety Reports and On-Site Emergency Plans, crucial requirements for MAH sites in Thane and Tarapur [Source 1.5, 2.3].
Importer Responsibility: Although Thane is not a major port, chemical importers in the region must comply with Rule 18 and ensure the SDS is available for authorities (like the MPCB and Customs) if receiving consignments [Source 3.1].
The Factories Act, 1948 & DISH, Maharashtra (State Enforcement): The DISH Regional Office, Thane, enforces safety rules, especially for "Hazardous Factories" (Rule 2(o) of Maharashtra Factories Rules) [Source 2.1]. The SDS is required for:
Factory Licensing: Submission of the SDS is mandatory during the application for a license for hazardous activities [Source 2.1].
Worker Safety: It details Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and safe handling procedures (Sections 7 & 8) necessary for worker training and compliance audits.
Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB): The MPCB Regional Office, Thane, enforces the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. The data in the SDS (Sections 12 & 13) is vital for:
Obtaining Consent to Operate (CTO) [Source 1.3].
Documenting the composition and quantity of hazardous waste streams for Authorization (required for disposal at common TSDFs) [Source 1.4].
Upcoming CMSR (India REACH): The impending Chemicals (Management and Safety) Rules (CMSR) mandate the use of the 16-section GHS-compliant SDS (Schedule IX of CMSR) for all notifiable substances ($\geq 1$ TPA) [Source 4.4, 4.6].
A Compliant Thane SDS must be:
Format: The international 16-section GHS format (aligned with MSIHC Schedule 9) .
Language: Primarily provided in English.
Content: Classified and detailed to satisfy both DISH MAH requirements and MPCB waste management criteria.
