FAQ

Find out how much SDS processing costs, how long it takes, and what to expect from the collaboration.

How much does it cost to prepare a safety data sheet?

The price depends on how many safety data sheets you need and how complex they are. We always calculate the price individually.

Why do I need a safety data sheet?

A safety data sheet is a mandatory document required by European regulation. It contains essential information on how to safely use, store, transport, and handle chemical products. It helps protect health and the environment and shows how to work with the substance correctly.

How long does it take to process a safety data sheet?

The processing time is mainly influenced by the size of the order. It usually takes 1–2 weeks. It also depends on whether we encounter any inconsistencies that need to be resolved with the manufacturer.

What legislation applies to the safety data sheet?

The REACH Regulation specifies the format and content of a safety data sheet. The CLP Regulation governs classification and labeling. Both regulations apply in all EU member states.

What information do I need to prepare an SDS?

When you purchase a finished product from a manufacturer, you will receive a safety data sheet with it. You can use this sheet as a foundation for a new SDS. If you manufacture your own product, you must know the formula and have safety data sheets for all raw materials.

What guarantee do you provide when creating safety data sheets?

We guarantee that the safety data sheets are in the correct format. Our long-term clients confirm that we prepare documents correctly, as they pass inspections without issue. Preparing a safety data sheet involves more than just translation. We always review the source documents and supplement or modify the safety data sheet to comply with current laws in the relevant country (e.g., substance names or occupational exposure limits).

What information should be on the label?

The rules governing label content can be found in Article 17 of the CLP Regulation. Hazardous products must include, for example, the product name, supplier information, hazard symbols, a signal word, and H- and P-phrases on the label. For mixtures, you must also include the UFI code.

What information do I need to provide on my online store?

On the website, where you can click "Buy" or "Add to Cart," enter the same information as on the label.

What requirements must I meet in order to market a product?

First, determine whether the product is hazardous and whether you need a safety data sheet for it. The classification determines whether the product is hazardous. You then proceed based on the classification. For example, you must have a label in the language of the country where you sell the product. You must also fulfill reporting obligations for individual substances (e.g., C&L notifications, registration) as well as for the entire product (PCN).

Can you handle communication with the authorities?

Yes, we will handle all communication with the authorities on your behalf. We will submit a C&L notification or a PCN notification for you. We will help you understand the regulatory authorities’ objections and correct any errors.

In which languages can you prepare a safety data sheet?

We can prepare safety data sheets in all EU languages. We always tailor them to the specific country, as they include contact information for the poison control center and workplace exposure limits, which vary from country to country.

Will you design the label from start to finish, including the graphics?

No, but we will prepare the label text, including all required information.

Can you also review an existing safety data sheet?

Yes, we review safety data sheets and will notify you of any deficiencies. However, it is sometimes more worthwhile to create a new safety data sheet. A new document provides greater assurance that it meets all requirements.

Can you check if my label is correct?

Yes, we will review the label and suggest changes to ensure it meets all requirements.

How can I tell if a PCN notification applies to me?

If your product is a hazardous mixture—for example, if it poses a health hazard (H3xx) or a physical hazard (H2xx)—you must submit a notification to the PCN and generate a UFI code. You must then include the UFI code on the label.

Does changing the composition affect the UFI?

Yes. If the composition changes—for example, if you remove, replace, or add a substance—you must generate a new UFI. However, if you only change the concentrations of the substances, this is considered a minor change, and the UFI can remain the same.

Is this a one-time collaboration, or a long-term partnership?

We can help with both—whether it’s a one-time project or a long-term partnership—and we’ll take care of your products.

How can I tell if my product also falls under a different category or is subject to different regulations?

We will classify the product based on its composition and intended use and explain what requirements you must meet. It could be, for example, a detergent or a biocide. These categories have additional requirements—such as labeling or notification requirements.

What requirements must I meet to market a biocidal product in the Czech Republic?

For biocidal products, it depends on the active substances:
• If the product contains only approved substances, you must register it in R4BP (we do not provide this service).
• If at least one substance is under review, you can only register the product in the CHLaP system.

In addition, for each product, you need efficacy tests, the exact composition, an approved active substance supplier in accordance with Article 95 of the BPR, and a biocidal product label.

Do you offer training for our team?

Yes, we offer training on chemical regulations. We can also design customized training programs tailored to your specific needs and focus.

What is EU-CEG and how does it work?

EU-CEG is a European system for registering e-cigarettes, refills, and herbal products intended for smoking. We will prepare the necessary documentation and handle the submission to the system on your behalf.

By when do I need to register the product with EU-CEG?

You must submit the notification no later than 6 months before placing the product on the market.

Do I need a safety data sheet for the refill (e-liquid)?

Yes, in most cases you need to have a safety data sheet. It depends on whether the product is hazardous and what substances it contains.

Have you not found an answer to your question?

We will be happy to prepare a tailored solution for you.
