SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Republic of Moldova 🇲🇩
SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Preparation & Local Compliance Services for Moldova
By Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd – Your Trusted Partner for EU Alignment
Moldova is actively harmonizing its national legislation with the European Union's regulatory framework, particularly in the domain of chemical safety. This convergence is formalizing the requirements for Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and the classification, labeling, and packaging of chemicals.
Why SDS Is Mandatory in Moldova (EU Alignment)
The legal requirement for a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) in Moldova is established by the Law No. 277 of 29.11.2018 on Chemical Substances and subsequent Government Decisions implementing this framework:
Law No. 277/2018 (Moldova REACH/CLP): This foundational law closely mirrors the principles of the EU's REACH and CLP regulations. It establishes obligations for manufacturers and importers regarding:
Classification: Chemicals must be classified according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) principles.
Information Communication: The law explicitly requires the communication of hazards through the supply chain, necessitating the SDS.
Worker Safety: Government Decision No. 640 of 11.09.2024 (effective January 1, 2026) approves the Regulation on the protection of workers against risks related to chemical agents at the workplace. This regulation requires employers to assess risks, taking into account the safety and health information provided by the supplier, including the corresponding safety data sheet, in accordance with Law no. 277/2018.
National Authority: Compliance is overseen by designated authorities under the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Protection.
A compliant SDS for Moldova must be:
Format: The internationally recognized 16-section SDS format (GHS aligned). The content should reflect the requirements of the EU's REACH Annex II structure, which is the international best practice standard being adopted.
Language Specific: The SDS and essential safety information must be supplied in the Romanian language (Moldovan variant), the official state language, for local use and compliance with the Product Safety Law. Russian may be used for supplementary technical documentation but is not a substitute for the Romanian document.
Content: Must contain accurate GHS classification, along with all necessary safety, storage, and handling information to satisfy local OSH and environmental standards.
