SDS Test Report Process for Plastic Raw Material Export
SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is an essential document for chemical exports, used to convey product safety information. The following is the complete process for exporting SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for plastic raw materials:
I. Preliminary Preparation Stage
1. Product Information Collection
Provide detailed composition formulas of the plastic raw materials (including monomers, additives, pigments, etc.)
Define the physicochemical properties of the product (melting point, density, flash point, etc.)
Confirm the regulatory requirements of the export destination country/region (e.g., EU REACH, US TSCA, etc.)
Prepare product usage instructions and application scenario descriptions
2. Hazard Identification and Classification
Based on the composition analysis results, identify whether the product contains SVHCs (Substances of Very High Concern).
Determine the hazard category of the product according to the GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Hazards) classification standards.
Assess whether additional testing items are needed (e.g., acute toxicity, mutagenicity, etc.)
II. Testing and Compilation Stage
3. Selecting a Testing Institution
Prioritize third-party testing laboratories with CNAS/CMA accreditation (e.g., Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Confirm whether the institution has GHS standard testing capabilities
Consider the institution's industry reputation and service experience
4. Sample Submission and Testing
Send representative samples as required by the organization.
Based on potential testing items for the components:
Physical hazard testing (flammability, explosiveness, etc.)
Health hazard testing (irritation, sensitization, etc.)
Environmental hazard testing (biodegradability, aquatic toxicity, etc.)
The testing cycle is typically 5 working days.
5. SDS Report Preparation
The SDS document is prepared by professionals based on the test results and component information.
The SDS contains 16 standard sections:
Identification Information
Hazard Identification
Component Composition
First Aid Measures
Fire Prevention Measures
Leakage Emergency Handling
Handling and Storage
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Physicochemical Properties
Stability and Reactivity
Toxicological Information
Ecological Information
Disposal Procedures
Transportation Information
Regulatory Information
Other Information
III. Review and Delivery Stage
6. Internal Review and Client Confirmation
Internal technical review by the testing organization.
Submit to the client for content confirmation.
Make necessary modifications based on feedback.
7. Official Report Issuance
Official SDS Report Stamped and Signed
Electronic and Paper Versions Available
Report validity typically 3-5 years (assuming unchanged composition)
IV. Follow-up Services
8. Multilingual Translation and Version Maintenance
Providing versions in the target language (e.g., English, Japanese, Korean, etc.) according to the exporting country's requirements
Timely updates when product composition or regulations change
Some countries require SDS certification by a professional organization or signature by a local agent
Notes:
Different destination ports may have specific requirements for SDS format and content; it is recommended to check in advance.
Some plastic raw materials (such as modified plastics containing flame retardants and plasticizers) may involve more complex testing items.
For full container load (FCL) shipments, shipping companies usually require an English SDS as the basis for booking.
