Safety Data Sheets

Ekos team prepare effectively and efficiently your compliant Safety Data Sheets in accordance with the Regulation No 1907/2006/EC [REACH] – the Safety Data Sheet.

In accordance with European Commistion regulation Safety Data Sheet should be provided either before or at the time of first delivery of the substance or mixture. When any new information on hazards or risk management measures becomes available, the safety data sheet should be updated without delay.

Safety data sheets becomes effective method for the provision to downstream users of information on chemical substances and mixtures in the EU. Clients could request a copy of SDS when they buy chemicals in EU. Other countries such as USA have used Safety Data Sheets, which is very similar to SDS in terms of format and contents.If you are importer, manufacturer or his representative of the chemical product you are responsible for proper compilation and placing on the market the correct Safety Data Sheet


We produce Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for chemical products, including dangerous ones, manufactured in Poland, on behalf of their manufacturers. We classify product hazards based on:

  • DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT INGREDIENTS,
  • CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS,
  • TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS,
  • SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

We translate and produce Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for chemical substances and preparations placed on your local market, with adjustments required by your national law

  • FROM OTHER LANGUAGES INTO POLISH
  • FROM POLISH INTO ANOTHER LANGUAGE.

Regular and sworn translations: German, English, French, Ukrainian,Italian, Czech, Slovak,Hungarian, Lithuanian, Swedish, Finnish and other languages

We update the SDSs for chemical substances and preparations due to:

  • CHANGES IN THE PRODUCT COMPOSITION,
  • TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES,
  • LEGAL CHANGES, INCLUDING THOSE WHICH ALTER THE CLASSIFICATION PRINCIPLES (Based on: Eupean Commision Regulations)
Collection of data:
  • Current inventory of SDS
  • Composition Data
  • Physico-chemical information
We produce Safety Data Sheets for chemical products (not classified as dangerous)

- in compliance with the requirements in accordance with the Regulation No 1907/2006/EC [REACH] – the Safety Data Shee on the obligation to provide SDSs for certain preparations not classified as dangerous.

Our SDSs for dangerous waste

  • IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CLASSIFICATION OF WASTE. 
    SDS FOR CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES AND PREPARATIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLISH LEGAL FRAMEWORK. WE HAVE A DATABASE OF CA. 2,000 SDSs AND BASIC PREPARATIONS
  • SDS PRODUCED FOR 100% PURE SUBSTANCES
  • SDS PRODUCED FOR CERTAIN POPULAR COMPLEX SUBSTANCES, WHICH ARE INDISPENSABLE IN THE COMMON APPLICATION OF CHEMICALS

We create electronic databases for:
custom made crisis management systems, national and local government administration, transport and forwarding companies, and others.

At EKOS, we produce databases and sets which contain SDSs for chemical substances and preparations, including commonly used dangerous chemical products, in compliance with the current Polish and EU regulations.

Format of SDS

Headings to be used in European SDS are as follows.

Classical Safety Data Sheet has ‘16-point’ format.


1    Identification of the substance/mixture and the company/undertaking

2    Hazards identification (assessment)
3    Composition/information on ingredients
4    First aid measures
5    Fire fighting measures
6    Accidental release measures
7    Handling and storage
8    Exposure controls / personal protection
9    Physical and chemical properties
10   Stability and reactivity
11   Toxicological information
12   Ecological information
13   Disposal considerations
14   Transport information
15   Regulatory information
16   Other information


Changes in the new Annex II of REACH

The extended REACH SDS (e-SDS)

This annex II is ammended by the Commision Regulation No 453/2010 in May 2010

Changes includes substances that are sold in quantities of more than 10 tonnes per year and are classified as dangerous.

Such substances required Exposure Scenarios. Document describe how a substance can be safely handled to control exposures to both human health and the environment shall be appendixed to Safety Data Sheet. Those changes extended safety data sheets (eSDS). This new SDS/sSDS is known as REACH SDS.


In accordance to the new Annex II of REACH there main changes in SDS:


Section 1: Identification of substance or mixture and company:

  • Registration No. is required (when available);
  • Identified uses of the substance/mixture is added;
  • E-mail address of competent person is needed;

Section 2: Hazards identification:

  • Distinguish between mixtures that are and are not hazardous;
  • Mention other hazards that do not result in classification (e.g., dustiness, ozone depletion);
  • Classification as in Title V CLP and DSD(see note);

Section 3: Composition & information on ingredients:

  • All substances classified as hazardous or those with OELVs or PBT/vPvB need to be reported;

Section 7: Handling and storage:

  • Where CSR required, information to be consistent with Exposure Scenario (ES);
  • Under "Handling" include measures to protect environment;
  • New section on "Specific uses";

Section 8: Exposure controls/personal protection (If CSR is required):

  • Regulation requied to provide DNELs and PNECs;
  • Summary of Risk Management Measures(RMM) shall included for identified uses as set out in ES;

Section 11, 12: Toxicological information and Ecological information:

  • Summaries of toxic tests and ecological tests need to be provided;

Section 15: Regulatory information:

  • Indicate if CSA has been carried out;
  • Indicate if substance subject to authorization/restriction;

Section 16: Other information:

  • Full text of R phrases (hazard statements) to be listed;
  • Upon revision, indicate information added/deleted/revised;
