SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Preparation & Review Services for Estonia

By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Regulatory Partner

Estonia, as a full member of the European Union (EU), operates under the chemical safety framework established by the REACH and CLP Regulations. Compliance requires the provision of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) that adheres strictly to EU standards, format, and language requirements.

Why SDS Is Mandatory in Estonia (EU Compliance)

The legal basis for the SDS requirement in Estonia is derived directly from EU law, which is implemented and enforced by national authorities:

  1. REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006: Article 31 mandates the provision of an SDS for all substances and mixtures classified as hazardous, as well as for certain non-hazardous products (like PBT/vPvB substances or SVHCs). This regulation defines the general content requirements.

  2. CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008: This regulation, which fully implements the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) in the EU, governs the classification, labelling, and packaging of chemicals. The SDS must be entirely consistent with the CLP classification.

  3. Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/878: This updates Annex II of REACH and sets the latest mandatory format and content requirements for all SDSs placed on the EU market, including in Estonia.

  4. National Authorities: The Health Board (Terviseamet) acts as a Competent Authority for REACH and CLP in Estonia, while the Labour Inspectorate oversees workplace safety, requiring the compliant SDS to be available to workers.

A compliant SDS for Estonia must be:

  • Format: The mandatory 16-section SDS format defined by REACH Annex II, as updated by Regulation (EU) 2020/878.

  • Language Specific: The SDS must be supplied in Estonian (Eesti keel), the official language of Estonia.

  • Content: Must include a Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) code in Section 1.1 for all hazardous mixtures placed on the market, as part of the Poison Centre Notification (PCN) process.

  • Consistency: The SDS classification, hazard statements, and pictograms in Section 2 must precisely match the label elements required by the CLP Regulation.
