Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd offers specialized SDS Preparation and Review Services tailored for the dynamic industrial belt of Pune and its surrounding areas (including Pimpri-Chinchwad, Chakan, Ranjangaon, and Talegaon). As a major center for the automotive, engineering, and IT/ITES sectors, Pune's chemical-handling units are subject to rigorous compliance requirements enforced by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH).

Why SDS is Critical in Pune/Maharashtra

The SDS is a mandatory legal document required for facility licensing, worker safety, environmental compliance, and accident prevention in Maharashtra.

The legal basis for the SDS stems from:

  1. Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical (MSIHC) Rules, 1989/2000 (Central Law): These rules mandate the provision of a safety data sheet (Schedule 9) for all hazardous chemicals. For large industrial units in Pune, the SDS provides the fundamental data required for Major Accident Hazard (MAH) planning and the preparation of On-Site Emergency Plans [Source 1.3].

  2. The Factories Act, 1948 & DISH, Maharashtra (State Enforcement): The Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH) Pune Regional Office strictly enforces worker safety. The SDS is a mandatory document for factories classified as "Hazardous Factories" (Rule 2(o) of Maharashtra Factories Rules) and is required for:

    • Factory Licensing: Submission of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) (the term often used interchangeably with SDS) is required during the application for Factory Registration and Grant of Licence for hazardous factories [Source 1.2, 1.4].

    • Hazard Control: Provides crucial information on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (Section 8) and likely hazards and control methods [Source 1.2].

  3. Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB): The MPCB Regional Office, Pune, enforces the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. The environmental data within the SDS (Sections 12 & 13) is critical for:

    • Obtaining Consent to Operate (CTO) and Hazardous Waste Authorization [Source 1.1].

    • Characterizing hazardous waste streams for disposal at the regional Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (CHW-TSDF) [Source 2.3].

  4. Upcoming CMSR (India REACH): The impending Chemicals (Management and Safety) Rules (CMSR) mandate the maintenance and submission of an up-to-date GHS Rev. 8-compliant SDS during the new Notification and Registration processes for chemicals placed in the Indian territory ($\geq 1$ Tonne Per Annum) [Source 4.1, 4.5].

A Compliant Pune SDS must be:

  • Format: The internationally recognized 16-section GHS format (aligned with the structure outlined in Schedule 9 of the MSIHC Rules) .

  • Language: Primarily provided in English.

  • Content: Robustly classified and contain detailed information to satisfy both MPCB environmental reporting and DISH factory licensing and safety requirements.
