Compilation, creation of a safety data sheet
MSDS-Europe – Safety Data Sheet Services – Safety Data Sheet Creation, SDS Compilation
Safety Data Sheet Creation for New Products, by Chemical Safety Experts
Creating a safety data sheet is a responsibility. We take it on.
Our experienced experts prepare your new SDSs in accordance with the requirements of the target market and the applicable EU and national regulations.
Many providers on the market offer software-based solutions. We have chosen a different path.
- Every SDS is unique:
We do not prepare template-based safety data sheets; we classify, evaluate and adapt each document to the regulatory framework.
- 25 years of international experience:
Decades of professional experience and extensive international practice stand behind our work.
- Regulatory monitoring 2.0:
We do not merely read REACH, CLP and other relevant regulations; we also understand how they interact on domestic and EU markets.
We only deliver SDSs for which we can provide a full guarantee.
Typically when a mixture is manufactured or imported. We help you decide what you actually need.
A safety data sheet that complies with Article 31 of REACH, Regulation (EU) 2020/878 and other relevant legal requirements.
After delivery of the SDS, we ensure regulatory compliance for 12 months.
Online quote within 24 hours. Volume discounts. Long-term cooperation through the MSDS-Europe Customer Support Program.
Full professional and financial guarantee for the SDSs we prepare.
Do You Need a New SDS, or Is an Update Enough? We Help You Decide.
A new safety data sheet is required if no SDS is yet available for the chemical product, or if the formulation of the mixture has changed to a significant extent.
Typical cases:
- for diluted products
- in the case of a mixture formulated on the basis of a proprietary formulation
- in the case of a significant change in composition
- in the case of import, if the safety data sheet received from the supplier cannot be used as a suitable starting document
Not sure whether you need a new SDS?
If you already have a safety data sheet that is acceptable as a starting point and only need another language version, our SDS translation with expert review service may be the right choice. During SDS translation, we also make the necessary professional and regulatory corrections.
If the existing document is outdated, incomplete or needs an update, we recommend our Safety Data Sheet review and update service.
If you also plan to place the product on the market, it is worth reviewing our other related services as well.
What Will You Receive?
Not just a completed SDS. A workable core document for chemical safety.
The outcome of our service is a safety data sheet on which other chemical safety-related compliance tasks can also be built with confidence.
What MSDS-Europe delivers in practice:
- Robust, 16-section SDS: a logically structured document that complies with the applicable EU and relevant national requirements. If you would like to see the SDS structure in more detail, we recommend our article on the content and format elements of a safety data sheet.
- Product-specific document: the safety data sheet is prepared on the basis of the product’s actual properties and intended use.
- Multi-stage internal review: every document passes through our quality assurance filter, ensuring professional accuracy, logical consistency and precision.
- Clear and usable information: we do not only aim for legal compliance, but also for content that is understandable and practical for users.
- Reusable basis: a good starting point for translation, labelling and PCN notification.

Reusable basis
A good starting point for translation, label draft preparation and PCN notification.
How Does the Completed Safety Data Sheet Remain Up to Date?
When we deliver a new SDS, we provide a document that complies with the legal requirements in force at the time of review. However, the regulatory environment of chemical safety changes continuously.
Our service helps ensure that you do not have to monitor separately when new legislative changes affect the safety data sheet already prepared for your product.
SDS Control provides 12 months of regulatory monitoring security for the completed safety data sheet.
- SDS Indicator Package – Be informed in time
For 12 months from completion of the SDS, we monitor whether any legislative change occurs that affects the content of the specific SDS. In such cases, we send a notification about the specific actions required.
- SDS Catalyst Package – Be informed, and let us solve it too
In addition to the services of the Indicator Package, we update the affected SDS free of charge if the change concerns the hazard classification of the components, occupational exposure limit values, the UN number, the waste catalogue code or SVHC status.
- SDS Reagent Package – The highest level of regulatory monitoring security
This is our highest-level package. In addition to the advantages of the Indicator and Catalyst Packages, we also update the affected SDS free of charge in the event of a general legislative change that creates an update obligation for all safety data sheets due to an amendment to Annex II of the REACH Regulation.
This way, you receive not only a professionally correct new SDS, but can also keep its future regulatory exposure under control.
You may also request a quote including an SDS Control package.
What Information Is Needed for Safety Data Sheet Creation?
We send our service-specific order form after the quotation has been accepted. It contains exactly the information required for the job.
The information generally needed for SDS creation:
- Product name: fantasy name or trade name
- Type of use: industrial use, professional use or consumer use
- Intended use of the product: briefly, for example: facade paint
- Exact composition of the product: the proportion of components (in %), and the safety data sheets of the components, if available
- Physical and chemical properties: colour, odour, physical state and, where applicable, pH, flash point, etc.
- Recommended waste management / recycling: if known
- Other available data: for example, handling and storage information
Help with Data Provision
MSDS-Europe Customer Service reviews the available information in advance and provides support for data submission.
How Does MSDS-Europe Prepare the Safety Data Sheet?
Behind every safety data sheet there is data interpretation, a classification decision, a creation process and internal control.
The following steps show how we get from the source data to the completed SDS.
- Data audit
We do not work blindly. As a first step, we review the available information: composition, intended use and physical-chemical data. If something is missing or contradictory, we do not guess; instead, we indicate exactly what additional information is still needed for the compilation of the safety data sheet.
- Hazard assessment and classification
This is the most critical part of SDS creation. Based on the latest CLP requirements, our experts determine, among other things, the product’s hazard classification and select the relevant hazard statements and precautionary statements.
- Structured SDS architecture
We build the 16-section document in line with the relevant EU requirements, including CLP requirements, as well as the national rules of the target country. This is where occupational exposure limit values, transport codes (ADR/RID/IMDG/ICAO and UN numbers) and waste management information (EWC codes) are placed correctly. If you would like to read more about the process, we recommend our article on the workflow for the creation and translation of safety data sheets.
- Multi-level professional review
At MSDS-Europe, no document is regarded as complete until it has passed internal quality assurance control. According to a strict set of criteria, we re-check the document to ensure that we deliver a technically accurate safety data sheet free of internal contradictions.
Expert Support When the SDS Is Delivered
You do not receive only a PDF. In connection with the completed SDS, we also help with the next steps, whether it is CLP label draft creation, PCN notification, later updates or translation. We also remain available if you have questions about the use or interpretation of the safety data sheet.
Why Should MSDS-Europe Prepare Your Safety Data Sheet?
Because chemical safety is not a game.
Many providers promise quick and cheap solutions, but we know that a poorly prepared safety data sheet may create serious business and legal risks. That is why we work with experts, with a transparent process and genuine responsibility.
- Expert background, with individual assessment
While others rely on software-based automation and templates, every single safety data sheet at MSDS-Europe is reviewed and assessed individually by experienced professionals.
We do not rely on software: we analyse the data and interpret the legislation.
- Real responsibility: full financial guarantee
For us, a guarantee is not a marketing slogan.
We provide full professional and financial responsibility for the SDSs we prepare. This means we take responsibility for the document’s regulatory compliance, and our financial guarantee also covers compensation for all direct and indirect damages arising from the use of a defective safety data sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Safety Data Sheet Compilation
Can a New Safety Data Sheet Also Be Required for an Imported Chemical Product?
Yes. As an importer, you are responsible for ensuring that the product documentation complies with the applicable legal requirements where the product is placed on the market. A partner established outside the EEA is not obliged to provide an SDS that complies with current EU legislation, because that partner is not a legal entity subject to those rules. All obligations rest with the importer.
Which Legal Requirements Are Applied When Preparing Safety Data Sheets?
When compiling the safety data sheet, we always apply the EU regulations in force at the time the SDS is prepared, as well as the applicable and relevant national regulations in effect at the place of use of the safety data sheet, that is, in the target country.
Our experts continuously monitor changes in the legislation affecting chemical safety, which allows us to guarantee that the safety data sheets we prepare are always up to date and aligned with the latest requirements. In every case, the safety data sheet includes an itemised list of the legal provisions taken into account when it was prepared.
Can Several Related Services Be Ordered Together?
Yes. It is common for our clients to request other services essential for placing the product on the market together with safety data sheet compilation. In such cases, we handle quotation and delivery within a single coordinated process for a more efficient and straightforward workflow.
How Long Does Safety Data Sheet Preparation Take?
Typically within 8 working days. The delivery deadline is always specified precisely in the order confirmation.
How Do I Know Whether the Data and Source Documents Sent for SDS Compilation Are Adequate?
After order confirmation, we always review the submitted data and documents. If we find any deficiency in the source documentation, your personal contact person will let you know exactly what supplementary information or clarification is still required.
