A bunch of random FAQ’s

Do I need to translate my SDSs?
The state of California requires manufacturers that import hazardous substances or a mixture of substances that constitutes a cosmetic or is used as a disinfectant to publish SDSs that have been translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean and English on their website so that they are available to the public. This requirement became effective July 1, 2020.
How do cosmetic SDSs differ from chemical SDSs?
Typical (generic) SDS-authoring companies create SDSs that can misrepresent a Cosmetic product. Ingredient SAFE SDSs are focused for the cosmetic industry, so that products are not misrepresented. We believe that SDSs for cosmetic products should not read like a Safety Data Sheet for a 55-gallon drum of an industrial chemical. If you are working with a generic SDS-authoring company, you may be doing your products a disservice. Use Ingredient SAFE to author your SDSs and represent your products properly.

What is an SDS?
SDS stands for safety data sheet, which are documents that list information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products. SDSs are a widely used system for cataloging information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures.
Do I need an SDS for my product(s)?

Yes, if you manufacture hazardous substances or mixtures.

What do GHS and CLP stand for?
The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) was created by the United Nations to create a single worldwide methodology for chemical classification, labelling and safety data sheets (SDS). The goal is to ensure that users are provided with practical, reliable and easy to understand information on chemical hazards, and can take the appropriate preventive and protective measures for their health and safety. It is designed to replace the various classification and labelling standards used in different countries with consistent reporting criteria on a global level. Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) is the EU’s adoption of the UN GHS.
