The original requirements of REACH for SDSs have been further adapted to take into account the rules for safety data sheets of the Global Harmonised System (GHS) and the implementation of other elements of the GHS into EU legislation that were introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1272 / 2008 (CLP) via an update to Annex II of REACH . </P> <P> The SDS must be supplied in an official language of the Member State (s) where the substance or mixture is placed on the market, unless the Member State (s) concerned provide (s) otherwise (Article 31 (5) of REACH). </P> <P> The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has published a guidance document on the compilation of safety data sheets . </P> <P> The German Federal Water Management Act requires that substances be evaluated for negative influence on the physical, chemical or biological characteristics of water . These are classified into numeric water hazard classes (WGK or WHC, depending on whether you use the German or English abbreviation). </P>
