THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 88/379/EEC of 7 June 1988 on the
approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of
the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and label-
ling of dangerous preparations(1), as last amended by Commission
Directive 90/492/EEC(2), and in particular Article 10 (2) thereof,
Whereas the labelling required by Directive 88/379/EEC constitutes a
basic source of information for users of dangerous preparations by
giving them a clear, concise indication of the potential dangers;whereas that labelling needs to be supplemented by a more detailedinformation system for industrial users;
Whereas Article 10 of Directive 88/379/EEC provides for the setting
up of an information system in the form of safety data sheets relating
to dangerous preparations; whereas, moreover, this Article specifiesthat such information is principally intended for industrial users andmust enable them to take the measures necessary to ensure the protec-tion of health and safety at the workplace;
Whereas there are close links between Directive 88/379/EEC and
Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967, on the approximationof laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classi-fication, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances(
3), as last
amended by Directive 79/831/EEC(4); whereas it is therefore desirable
to establish a system of safety data sheets which is applicable to both
dangerous substances and dangerous preparations; whereas the imple-menting provisions for dangerous substances will be laid down in duecourse;
Whereas the advisory committee on safety, hygiene and health protec-
tion at the workplace set up by Council Decision 74/325/EEC(
5), as
last amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, has beenconsulted;
Whereas the provisions of this Directive are in accordance with the
opinion of the committee for the adaptation to technical progress of
the Directives on the removal of technical barriers to trade indangerous substances and preparations,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

ANNEX
GUIDETOTHECOMPILATIONOFSAFETYDATASHEETS
The purpose of this Annex is to ensure consistency and accuracy in the content
of each of the mandatory headings listed in Article 3, so that the resulting safety
data sheets will enable professional users to take the necessary measures relating
to protection of health and safety at the workplace, and protection of the envir-
onment.
The information provided by safety data sheets should meet the requirements set
out in Council Directive 98/24/EC(1) on the protection of the health and safety
of workers from the risks related to chemical agents at work. In particular, the
safety data sheet should enable the employer to determine whether any hazar-
dous chemical agents are present in the workplace, and to assess any risk to
the health and safety of workers arising from their use.
The information must be written in a clear and concise manner. The safety data
sheet should be prepared by a competent person who should take into account
the specific needs of the user audience, as far as it is known. Persons placing
substances and preparations on the market should ensure that competent persons
have received appropriate training, including refresher training.
For preparations not classified as dangerous, but for which a safety data sheet is
required according to Article 14(2.1)(b) of Directive 1999/45/EC, proportionate
information should be provided under each heading.
Additional information may be necessary in some cases in view of the wide
range of properties of the substances and preparations. If in other cases it
emerges that information on certain properties is of no significance or that it is
technically impossible to provide, the reasons for this must be clearly stated
under each heading. Information must be provided for each hazardous property.
If it is stated that a particular hazard does not apply, clearly differentiate
between cases where no information is available to the classifier, and cases
where negative test results are available.
Give the date of issue of the safety data sheet on the first page.
When a safety data sheet has been revised, the changes should be brought to the
attention of the recipient.
Note
Safety data sheets are also required for certain special substances and prepara-
tions (e.g. metals in massive form, alloys, compressed gases etc.) listed in
chapters 8 and 9 of Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC, for which there are
labelling derogations.
