What Is SDS Authoring?

For companies involved in the manufacturing, importing and distributing of chemicals, the authoring of SDS sheets and labels for their chemical products is an essential step before selling your products. SDS Authoring is done by first sampling the chemical product and sending samples to a laboratory for an analysis. This data determines the roadmap for classification and interpretation by the SDS Author.

Classification is the foundation for building a Safety Data Sheet and requires the skill of an experienced SDS Author. SDSs are now authored to a Global Harmonized Standard (SDS) but still need to be authored by country due to local variances and regulations.

Suppliers Must:

Ensure the correct classification of their hazardous products
Provide Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for hazardous products
Provide labels for hazardous products
