REACH and GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheets. Any language, any region.

REACH Safety Data Sheet (SDS) replace Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

REACH SDS replace MSDS but still contain most of the same basic information.

Foreign manufacturers often do not realize the importance of REACH-compliant Safety Data Sheets. Previously called Material Safety Data Sheets, these documents are required to even allow substances into many companies. Furthermore, within Europe, every company has the legal right to request and receive a REACH Safety Data Sheet in their official language.

Fortunately, CAPLINQ can produce and maintain the REACH Safety Data Sheets you require to ship your chemicals into Europe. The REACH safety data sheets CAPLINQ provides can be used not only in the USA and Europe, but in all regions of the world including the Americas, Europe and Asia. You can rest assured that the REACH safety data sheets produced by CAPLINQ are REACH-compliant, meaning that they are prepared according to the REACH regulations and comply with European REACH Regulation (EC1907/2006).

Safety Data Sheets under REACH

REACH is strict on the content, language and distribution of Safety Data Sheets. When chemical substances that appear on the SDS have been registered, "Exposure Scenarios" need to be included. This additional information is what determines the "Extended Safety Data Sheet".

Not all information needs to be included on the SDS

Though manufacturers often include all the chemical substances on the Safety Data Sheet, only chemical substances that are "classified" are required to be listed. CAPLINQ understands that the REACH SDS could contain information that its manufacturers would prefer not to disclose to the general public, and therefore includes the minimum amount of information to be completely REACH-compliant while not giving away company secrets.

Distribution of REACH Safety Data Sheets

When chemical substances are first provided to companies, SDS must be provided - free of charge - under REACH regulation. It is also required to be submitted to these same customers within 12 months if any updates are made to the SDS

It is not required that REACH SDS are published online or broadly available to the general public, though some companies do choose to do so. CAPLINQ has a filing and distribution system that ensures that all SDS are always REACH-compliant and up-to-date. We provide Safety Data Sheets in digital form, but always in a secured pdf format to prevent any unauthorized tampering.
