Why SDS Is Mandatory in Zambia
Zambia is actively strengthening its chemical and waste management system, largely coordinated by the Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA). Although full, mandatory GHS adoption across all sectors is an ongoing process, the provision of robust safety data is a requirement under several key acts:
Chemical and Environmental Control: The Environmental Management Act (EMA) No. 12 of 2011 and the Pesticide and Toxic Substances Regulations (Statutory Instrument No. 20 of 1994, as amended) give ZEMA the mandate to license and regulate the import, export, storage, and use of all toxic and hazardous substances. The SDS (often still referenced as MSDS) is a fundamental document for obtaining ZEMA licenses and registration.
Workplace Safety: The Factories Act (Chapter 441) and the Mining Regulations (under the Mines and Minerals Act) mandate that employers inform and protect workers from chemical hazards, requiring readily available safety information.
GHS Alignment: Zambia has endorsed a National GHS Implementation Strategy through ZEMA, indicating a clear trajectory toward adopting the GHS 16-section SDS format as the national standard.
A compliant SDS for Zambia must be:
Format: Prepared in the internationally recognized 16-section SDS format (GHS aligned) as the required standard for professional chemical management.
Language Specific: Written in English (the official language for business and technical documentation).
Legally Referenced: Must support compliance with the ZEMA licensing requirements for Pesticides and Toxic Substances, especially Sections 3, 5, and 7 of the 1994 Regulations.
Zoesoe Exports ensures your documentation meets these national mandates and international best practices for chemical management.
