ECHA issues updated guidance for downstream users and guidance on the compilation of safety data sheets (SDS). ECHA states that it updated the guidance for downstream users to take into account and implement the experience and best practices developed and established since the original version of the guidance was drafted in 2008. The update addresses the need to provide more and up-to-date guidance on the application of scaling when checking whether a downstream user’s use of a substance is covered by the supplier’s exposure scenario, as well as the communication of information on the safe use of mixtures. ECHA amended the guidance on the compilation of SDSs by updating and including as an appendix information on extending the SDS that was already contained in Part G of the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment.
