About the licence
What is MSDS Authoring?
We help chemical importers, manufacturers, and distributors create mandatory Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for global compliance. Our team evaluates your chemical formulations, compiles accurate hazard data from recognized toxicological databases, and authors the complete 16-section document on your behalf.
Depending on your target market (domestic or international), the regulatory requirements and classification thresholds will vary. We confirm the applicable framework—whether under OSHA HazCom, EU REACH, or the UN GHS—along with any specific local nuances before you commit to anything.
We charge a transparent professional fee separate from any third-party lab testing or translation fees, and all timelines we share reflect the work we control — final document delivery depends on the complexity of your product's formulation.
Key compliance points
- Mandatory under occupational health and safety regulations before chemical goods can enter or be sold in the market
- Applies directly to chemical manufacturers (importers must ensure foreign suppliers provide compliant documentation)
- Ensures strict adherence to the standardized GHS 16-section format and correct hazard pictograms
- Governed by global and regional frameworks like OSHA, REACH, and respective environmental protection agencies
- Document validity requires timely updates whenever formulations change or new toxicological data becomes available

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MSDS or SDS authoring?
MSDS or SDS authoring is the expert process of creating standardized safety documents for chemical products. These documents detail hazards, composition, safe handling, and emergency measures to ensure global regulatory compliance and workplace safety for manufacturers.
Why is a GHS compliant SDS mandatory for my business?
A compliant SDS is legally required to manufacture, transport, or sell chemical products internationally. It acts as a safety passport, protecting workers from hazards while ensuring your business avoids severe regulatory penalties and supply chain delays.
How often should an existing Safety Data Sheet be updated?
You must update your safety data sheet immediately whenever new hazard information becomes available, formulation changes occur, or regulatory guidelines shift. Regular audits every three to five years guarantee continuous compliance with evolving global chemical standards.
How does Instacertify help with the SDS authoring process?
Instacertify provides professional consulting to generate accurate, sixteen section safety documents aligned with specific regional regulations. Our dedicated experts handle hazard classification, data gathering, and precise formatting, ensuring your chemicals gain rapid legal market access worldwide.
What is the difference between MSDS and SDS?
The term MSDS is the older designation, while SDS is the modern standard adopted under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). Both serve the same purpose, but an SDS follows a strict, standardized 16-section format for universal clarity.
Can we write our own Safety Data Sheets internally?
While internal authoring is possible, it requires deep toxicological knowledge and strict regulatory expertise. Outsourcing to compliance professionals like Instacertify guarantees accurate hazard classifications, minimizes your legal liabilities, and prevents costly delays in international shipping or customs.
Are safety data sheets required for non-hazardous chemicals?
Even if a chemical is classified as non-hazardous, creating an SDS is highly recommended. It provides transparent handling instructions, satisfies supply chain requests, and proves to customs officials that the product requires no special hazard restrictions during transport.
Do different countries require different SDS formats?
Yes, while the GHS provides a global framework, individual regions like Europe, the United States, and India apply unique local regulations. An accurate SDS must be specifically localized to meet the exact legal requirements of the destination country.
