Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for GSO/GHS and Local Emirate Compliance in the UAE
Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized Safety Data Sheet (SDS) services tailored specifically to meet the mandatory requirements of the Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO) GHS standard and the specific regulations enforced by UAE authorities (e.g., Dubai Municipality, Abu Dhabi Public Health Center). We guarantee your SDS is accurate, compliant, and supports the mandatory registration requirements for chemicals in the UAE market.
🇦🇪 Why SDS Is Mandatory in the UAE
The UAE's chemical regulatory framework is decentralized and evolving, but the core requirement for SDS is driven by the adoption of GHS standards across the GCC.
GHS (GSO Standard): The UAE, through the GSO, has adopted GHS (currently aligned with GHS Revision 7) for classification and hazard communication, including the 16-section SDS format.
Product Registration: Many chemical products, especially detergents, disinfectants (biocides), and pesticides, require mandatory registration with local authorities (e.g., Dubai Municipality, MOCCAE) or the Emirates Drug Establishment, for which a compliant SDS is a prerequisite.
Workplace Safety: Authorities like the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC) and the Dubai Municipality (DM) require GHS-compliant SDS for workplace safety under local codes of practice.
A compliant SDS for the UAE market must be:
Prepared in the standard 16-section GHS format (GSO ISO 11014:2013).
Provided in bilingual format: Arabic and English, which is typically required for both the SDS and the product label.
Classification must align with the GHS building blocks as adopted by the GSO (Note: The GSO standard excludes specific categories of hazards like Acute Toxicity Cat 5 or Flammable Liquids Cat 4).
Required to support local compliance schemes like the Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS) for detergents.
