Why SDS Is Mandatory in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's chemical management framework is primarily driven by legislation that controls hazardous substances and ensures workplace safety. While older regulations used non-GHS terms (e.g., MSDS), the modern legal instruments mandate GHS alignment.
The key regulatory bodies requiring and enforcing the use of Safety Data Sheets are:
Environmental Management Agency (EMA): EMA is the key authority regulating chemicals under the Environmental Management Act [Chapter 20:27] and its subsidiary regulations, notably the Environmental Management (Control of Hazardous Substances) (General) Regulations, S.I. 268 of 2018. These regulations explicitly define and reference the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for classification and labelling. The SDS is crucial for EMA licensing of importers, manufacturers, and sellers of hazardous substances.
National Social Security Authority (NSSA): NSSA, via the Factories and Works Act [Chapter 14:08] and related OSH regulations, requires employers to provide safety information and training to workers, for which the SDS is the primary document. Zimbabwe has also ratified ILO Convention 170 on Safety and Health in the Use of Chemicals.
Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ): SAZ stipulates labelling and marking requirements, encouraging alignment with international standards.
A compliant SDS for Zimbabwe must be:
Format: Prepared in the internationally recognized 16-section SDS format (GHS compliant), in line with the definitions in S.I. 268 of 2018.
Language Specific: Written in English (the official language for business and technical documentation).
Legally Referenced: Must support compliance with the EMA Hazardous Substances Regulations (S.I. 268 of 2018) for classification, labelling, and licensing.
Zoesoe Exports ensures your documentation meets these national mandates and GHS standards.
