SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Preparation & Review Services for The UNITED KINGDOM (GB)

Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner for UK REACH & GB CLP Compliance

Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized Safety Data Sheet (SDS) services tailored specifically to meet the mandatory requirements of the UK REACH and GB CLP regulations for products placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales). We guarantee your SDS is accurate, fully compliant with the post-Brexit domestic framework, and supports risk assessment under the COSHH Regulations.

🇬🇧 Why SDS Is Mandatory in the UK (Great Britain)

Following the UK's withdrawal from the EU, a separate legal framework applies to chemical safety in Great Britain, enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and relevant government departments (like DEFRA).

• UK REACH Regulation: The domestic replacement for EU REACH, setting the structure, content (16-section format), and legal basis for the SDS.

• GB CLP Regulation: The domestic replacement for EU CLP, governing the GHS-based classification, labelling, and packaging of substances and mixtures in Great Britain.

A compliant SDS for the GB market must be:

• Prepared as per the UK REACH Annex II requirements. (Note: GB has not adopted all subsequent EU amendments, such as Regulation (EU) 2020/878, but the general 16-section EU format is generally accepted for consistency).

• Written entirely in English.

• Contain the information necessary for employers to conduct risk assessments under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002.

• Northern Ireland Protocol Note: For Northern Ireland, EU REACH and EU CLP continue to apply, and compliance requires the inclusion of the UFI and adherence to EU-specific updates.
