A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is an
important tool used to clarify the
toxicological properties of chemicals
and ensure the safe use of them in
the supply chain. SGS provides a SDS
service for organizations according to
REACH requirements.
Due to complex manufacturing
processes and the involvement of
various stakeholders along the
supply chain, products may
potentially contain substances on
the SVHC candidate list. The SVHC
Screening and Testing Service
identifies these substances so you
can take appropriate actions to fulfill
relevant REACH obligations.
Apart from the SVHC candidate list,
manufacturers should also be aware
of the use of REACH restricted
substances (ANNEX XVII) in their
products. Our REACH Restricted
Substance Testing Service assists
you in managing the use of
restricted substances in your
products.
SGS analyzes both the products and
the existing control work according
to the listed REACH obligations, and
issues you with a REACH compliance
statement, providing proof of your
conformity.
