SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Republic of Argentina 🇦🇷
SDS Preparation & GHS Compliance Services for Argentina
By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Partner for Argentine GHS and OSH Compliance
Argentina has formally adopted the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemical classification and hazard communication in the workplace through national regulations. Compliance requires the provision of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) that adheres to specific national resolutions and technical standards.
Why SDS Is Mandatory in Argentina (SRT Resolution 801/2015)
The legal requirement for providing safety documentation is mandatory and governed by regulations from the Ministry of Labour:
GHS Mandatory Implementation: Resolution SRT No. 801/2015 (Superintendency of Occupational Risks) mandates the implementation of the GHS (5th Revised Edition) in the workplace. This makes GHS-compliant labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) obligatory for all hazardous substances and mixtures circulated in the workplace.
SDS Format and Content: The preparation of the SDS must comply with the Argentine Institute of Standardization and Certification (IRAM) Standard IRAM 41.400/2013.
The SDS must follow the standard 16-section structure of the GHS.
Language Requirement: Both the SDS and the label must be entirely in Spanish (Español), the official language, for legal compliance and effective worker communication.
Jurisdiction: The primary official body responsible for GHS enforcement is the Superintendency of Occupational Risks (SRT), under the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security.
A compliant SDS for Argentina must be:
Format: The mandatory 16-section SDS format, adhering to IRAM 41.400/2013.
Language Specific: Written entirely in Spanish.
GHS Version: Based on UN GHS, 5th Revised Edition.
Emergency Contact: Must include the supplier's contact details and a 24-hour emergency telephone number.
