Product Information Sheet (PIS)
IN ACCORDANCE WITH REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 a SDS is mandatory only for those substances that meet the following criteria (REACH Article 31): classified as hazardous under the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC) or as dangerous under the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC); or persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT), or very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB); or included in the European Chemicals Agency’s (ECHA) Candidate List of substances of very high concern.
Therefore, for those substances or preparations (alloys) not meeting the above criteria a SDS is not mandatory.
However, for products/special preparations/special mixtures/alloys not meeting the criteria for classification a Product Information Sheet (PIS) could be an important communication tool.
