Q & A

Who should attend?

Everyone supplying mixtures in the UK and EU 27, from importers to formulators needs to understand the Safety Data Sheet and how REACH affects it (EU/UK). This day will be of particular interest to those who are responsible for preparing SDS for the mixtures they formulate and supply to the end user and to other European & UK downstream users.

You’ll get the most from the day if you have some understanding of the SDS as well as knowledge of hazard communication under the Dangerous Preparations Directive (DPD). We will assume you are familiar with EU/UK REACH and the EU/GB CLP regulation.

However, if you’re not fully up to speed don’t worry – we can adapt the programme to cover this or run a separate introductory day.

This day is one in a series of training days designed to improve your understanding of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

 

Why attend?

This one-day course will deal with the following key issues:

✓ Understand what the SDS for mixtures needs to contain, and why

✓ Appreciate the transitions from DPD to REACH and CLP

✓ Understand the principles behind writing a REACHcompliant SDS

✓ Learn about exposure scenarios and including relevant information for your customers’ uses
