The SDS 2
Requirements for SDSs : Article 31 of REACH (EC) 1907/2006 Annex II REACH Updated Annex II May 2010 (EC) 453/2010 More content obligatory, previously just recommended Information in SDS must be consistent with ES
Timescales New SDS from 1 December 2010 Existing SDS until 30 Nov 2012 CLP-based SDS for mixtures by 1 Jun 2015 (guidance to come) – unless classify early
When is it a new SDS? Update without delay - Section-1: change in emergency telephone number 2: change in C&L of substance/mixture (inc CLP classn), if more severe 3: change/addition of a component which is/becomes CMR (CLP Cat. 1A/1B, DSD 1 or 2), PBT/vPvB, N;R50/53, or SVHC 8: change in RMMs - PPE, engineering or emission control (if more stringent), or new OEL 14: change in transport classification (exc technical names) 15: granting/refusal of an authorisation or application of a restriction to a substance Annex - mixture : complete set of ESs for all risk-determining substances or if a safety assessment is revised (or attached for the first time) and contains new relevant information on risk management measures
Minor Changes Examples : Change in layout Section 2 and 3: deletion of DPD and DSD classifications after 1 June 2015 Section 3: registration number available for one or more components Section 8: change in OEL value and/or PNEC for a substance in the mixture Annex: availability of exposure scenario(s) for one or more substances in the mixture (not affecting RMMs) Other changes with no effect on the PPE, engineering or emission controls.

SDS Sections 1.Identification of the substance/mixture and of the company/undertaking 2: Hazards identification 3: Composition/information on ingredients 4: First aid measures 5: Fire-fighting measures 6: Accidental release measures 7: Handling and storage 8: Exposure controls/personal protection 9: Physical and chemical properties 10: Stability and reactivity 11: Toxicological information 12: Ecological information 13: Disposal considerations 14: Transport information 15: Regulatory information 16: Other information Main and Sub-sections mandatory
What is an extended safety data sheet 9
What is an Extended SDS SDS + ES(s) = ESDS or Extended SDS – Not eSDS – Existing requirement for SDS not changed – The content off the SDS is set by REACH Annex II – revised May 2010 – may have one or more exposure scenarios (ES) attached – SDS may be longer due to new REACH Annex II – Supply ESDS in an official language of MS The main body of the SDS contains information relevant to all users
How to produce an ESDS 11
Check consistency between ESs and SDS – Sections 7, 8, 12, 13 Add info from substance ESDS to mixture SDS – Substance registration number in Section 3 – PNECs and/or DNELs in Section 8 – Any PBT/vPvB substances in Section 12 Same substance different suppliers? – Pass on all variations or – Use expert judgement (liability?) 12 Option 1 Forward Substance ESs
As separate, composite ES or Include in body of SDS – Same information, different format 13 Option 2 and 3 Prepare Mixture ES
Compile list of RMs in mixture Breakdown to substances Ignore those not relevant – Exposure/emission routes not relevant – Below REACH concentration thresholds – No registration number (but check significant info) Identify lead substances Use DPD+ method if have a number of substances 14 Prepare Mixture ES

The following substances have to be considered for generation of the mixture ES: – Inhalation: cyclohexane, n-hexane, ethyl acetate and hydro treated naphtha. Reasoning: 82.5% are classified R67 (additive) generating an overall LSI of 361 – Dermal: n-hexane and cyclohexane. Reasoning: dermal irritation R38 concerns both substances and is additive. Note: for n-hexane, the specific threshold in Annex I takes precedence over the default value associated with R38 (20) – Eyes: Ethyl acetate, eye irritant R36 – Ingestion: no lead substance. R65 has only to be considered if the mixture viscosity is below the threshold of 7 mm²/s at 40°C. – Environment: the LSI of cyclohexane (120) is much larger than the others. No additive effects are foreseen. Note: if the product contains any substances classified as: – - Cat 1,2,3 CMR – - dermal or respiratory sensitiser – The ES for these substances should be also be taken into account for consideration of the mixture ES 22 Conclusions
Communicating downstream 23
Passing on Information This can be done in several ways : – Forwarding to customers the ES of each substance without consolidation – Preparing a new ES by consolidating the received ES of substances and annexing it to the SDS of the mixture – Extracting from the received ES all relevant information on RMMs and OCs, summarizing and including them in the related sections of the SDS of the mixture for professional users On the label for mixtures sold to the public
Which option and when to use it? Simply forwarding is simple for mixture with a very limited number of dangerous substances. However: – It doesn’t take into account dilution effects by non-dangerous components – The information on RMMs and OCs in the SDS of the mixture might not be consistent with those of the pure substance(s) in the original ES Different classification Different risks
Which option and when to use it? If the mixture is an end-product used under different conditions the best option might be to prepare several new consolidated exposure scenarios – Taking into account the various conditions of use – Indicating specific RMMs Scaling possibilities can be adapted to each use in the various ES – if you want to help your customer
Which option and when to use it? If the mixture is used as a component in a formulation down the supply chain, forwarding both – a consolidated ES and – the substances ESs helps the following actor in identifying and including relevant information in his own SDS/ESDS If scaling possibilities exist they can be found in the original ES of the substances allowing consolidation by customer
The XML standard
The XML Standard Goal: an electronic exchange standard for exposure scenario information in the supply chain Release 1.0 (available via Cefic website) for M/ICefic website – Further development needed to meet needs of DUs Release 1.1 Co-operation between DUCC/Cefic/VCI and software providers Output will be an open standard – No intellectual property rights for lead IT partners Reconcile with ECHA (e.g. alignment with other tools) – ECHA is informed/invited to meetings, but not in lead
The XML Standard REACH Experts resolving outstanding issues e.g. – DPD+ requirements – New sub-group to consider multiple substances – Comparisons of current draft XML with “real-life” ES received by DUs
