MSDS Authoring

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and SDS (Safety Data Sheet) are legally required safety documents for chemical products, cosmetic formulations, industrial oils, cleaning agents, coatings, lubricants, pharma raw materials, and export consignments.

Under global regulations, MSDS is the older format and SDS is the updated GHS-compliant format. Today, most countries including India, EU, USA, Saudi Arabia, UAE and ASEAN require SDS in the 16-section GHS format.

At Instacertify, we provide:

  • MSDS conversion to SDS
  • GHS-compliant SDS authoring
  • SDS Certificate (Declaration of Compliance) for logistics, customs and e-commerce platforms

Overview

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and SDS (Safety Data Sheet) are mandatory safety documents for products containing chemicals, oils, cosmetics, cleaners, coatings, lubricants, aerosols, or industrial formulations. They explain how a product must be handled, stored, transported, and used safely.
  • Today, SDS is the globally accepted GHS format and is required to:
  • Clear customs for import & export
  • Allow air, sea, and road transportation
  • Get approval on Amazon, Flipkart, Alibaba, etc.
  • Enable warehouse storage & logistics handling
  • Meet factory safety and environmental regulations

Why MSDS / SDS Authoring is Required

MSDS / SDS is required to:
  • Ensure chemical safety & hazard communication
  • Allow transport of dangerous goods (Air, Sea, Road – IATA, IMDG, ADR)
  • Obtain customs clearance for exports
  • Get approval from Amazon, Flipkart, Alibaba, Noon, etc.
  • Comply with OSHA, CPCB, REACH, EU CLP, and Factory Inspectorate
  • Protect manufacturers from accidents, legal liability & product bans
Without a valid SDS:
  • Shipments are rejected by airlines and shipping lines
  • Warehouses refuse to store products
  • E-commerce listings get blocked

MSDS vs SDS – What is the Difference?

MSDS SDS
