<strong>Guidance</strong> on registration
Version 2.0 May 2012
67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or in Directive 1999/45/EC. The relevant
exposure limit values will be also identified in the SDS.
The final ES developed for identified uses as part of the CSA has to be communicated to the
registrant’s customers as an annex to the SDS, as this provides instructions of risk
management measures that should be in place in order to ensure control of risks.
It is the responsibility of the supplier to keep the SDS updated.
Please, note that with the entry into force of the CLP Regulation on 20 January 2009, the
following transition period applies regarding the classification of substances to be
included in the SDS:
From 1 December 2010 until 1 June 2015, the SDS for substances shall contain the
classification according to both Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation.
On 1 June 2015 the transition period ends and from then onwards the SDS must include only
the classification according to the CLP Regulation and need no longer make reference to the
classification according to 67/548/EEC.
The following transition period applies to the classification of mixtures in the SDS:
From the entry into force of the CLP Regulation on 20 January 2009 until 1 June 2015,
the classification of a mixture in accordance to the CLP Regulation may be added on a
voluntary basis together with the classification in accordance to Directive 1999/45/EC in
the SDS. However, where a mixture is both classified and labelled according to the CLP
Regulation, that classification shall be provided in the SDS together with the
classification for the mixture and its constituents in accordance to Directive 1999/45/EC
and Directive 67/548/EEC respectively.
From 1 June 2015 onwards, the transition period ends and mixtures and their constituents will
be classified exclusively according to the CLP Regulation.
Further information is available in the <strong>Guidance</strong> on the compilation of safety data sheets.
