With the advert of REACH, meaningless SDS's borne from unfounded sources needed to be updated in accordance with the classification, labeling and packaging regulation while using robust data from REACH registrations.
Note should be made on the fact that a substance's Extended Safety Data Sheet (eSDS) is mandatory only for those substances that meet the following criteria (see REACH article 31 and CLP article 59):
The substance:
(a) Is classified as hazardous under the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC) or as dangerous under the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC); or
(b) It is persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT), or very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) as defined in Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation; or
(c) Is included in the European Chemicals Agency’s (ECHA) Candidate List of substances of very high concern.
Note if you are a REACH registrant of the following Mn-based substances it is not mandatory to provide a SDS as these substances do not meet any of the criteria mentioned above:
Manganese Metal – Massives ONLY (EINECS: 231-105-1)
Manganese Oxide (EINECS: 215-695-8)
Manganese Carbonate (EINECS: 209-942-9)
