Although home fragrances seem harmless at first glance and are widely used, many of them contain substances that, if used improperly, can cause allergic reactions, irritate the skin or eyes, or pose a risk to the environment. These potential hazards depend on the composition and concentration of the mixture, so it is essential to classify chemical mixtures correctly and prepare their documentation responsibly.
A safety data sheet (SDS) is a document about a chemical substance or mixture. It provides information on classification, hazards, ingredients, and other relevant information related to the safe handling, storage, or disposal of the chemical substance or mixture, as well as its effects on health and the environment and first aid measures.
A properly and qualitatively prepared safety data sheet for home fragrances helps to ensure that both professional users (manufacturers, distributors, importers) and end users have the information they need to use the products safely.
Taking into account EU legislation and the requirements applicable in the countries to which the product is supplied, our experts:
- Prepare safety data sheets for home fragrances.
- Refine and review existing safety data sheets.
- Prepare professional translations of safety data sheets into the official languages of various EU countries.
Preparing safety data sheets (SDS) for home fragrances: what to keep in mind?
- When supplying home fragrances in EU countries, the REACH Regulation stipulates the need to prepare SDS.
- The safety data sheet must be provided in the national language and supplemented with relevant data, including the contact details of the national poison control centre for each country to which the product is supplied. The structure, terminology, and content of the document must comply with the requirements of the applicable legislation.
Why is it worth turning to experts?
Safety data sheets for home fragrances are an important step in the product regulation and supply process. If, during an inspection, the SDS is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or non-compliant, a fine may be imposed. INTRA VIRES experts can not only prepare, check, supplement, or translate SDSs, but also share best market practices and help you smoothly implement multilateral projects.
