As of January 1, 2023, all safety data sheets must be issued in accordance with the new format as determined by Regulation 878/2020. (This modifies Annex II of the REACH regulation and provides legal requirements for material safety data sheets).
If you've been putting it off until now, that's completely normal.
In fact, January 1, 2023, marks the end of 2-year transition period that was determined in the Annex II to Regulation (EC) no. 1907/2006 (REACH). During this time, the updating of safety data sheets according to the new format was voluntary.
The exception applies to safety data sheets that were:
- already issued,
- updated in accordance with Article 31.9, and
- updated with UFI code.
Let me just briefly remind you that the CLP Regulation sets new requirements for the UFI code for mixtures. In Annex II to the REACH regulation, you can also find information on where to insert this UFI code in the safety data sheets. You can read more about the UFI code and PCN notifications here.
However, the purpose of today's post is not to go over in detail through all the changes introduced by Regulation 2020/878 to the new safety data sheet. It's more of a friendly reminder of one more thing to put on your to-do list. And to offer you, our help.
