🇹🇴 Why SDS Is Mandatory in Tonga
Tonga's chemical safety laws, overseen by the Ministry of Environment (or its Chief Executive Officer/Competent Authority), require clear hazard communication for chemicals, particularly those related to industry, agriculture, and waste management.
International Conventions: Tonga's laws cite obligations under conventions like Basel and Waigani, reinforcing the need for clear documentation for hazardous waste and transboundary movement.
Hazardous Wastes and Chemicals Act: This law defines "Hazardous chemical" and mandates that a chemical used for occupational purposes shall be accompanied by an SDS according to internationally recognized formats.
Pesticides Act: This Act requires comprehensive safety information for all registered pesticides, including labelling requirements that must appear in both English and Tongan.
A compliant SDS for the Tongan market must be:
Prepared in an internationally recognized format (the 16-section GHS format is the accepted global standard).
Classification should align with the recognized definitions of "Hazardous chemical" under the national Act.
Written primarily in English, but critical safety and labelling information must be supported by the Tongan language.
Required to support the mandatory registration process for all pesticides manufactured or imported into the Kingdom.
