The dilemma

4. SDScomXML
Challenges
1. National chemical inventories and REACH-like regulations
2. National lists of banned chemicals, restrictions and authorizations
3. National GHS (C&L rules, chemical lists with legal C&L)
4. National SDS templates and specialities (e.g. ext. SDS in EU)

5. SDScomXML
Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
general topics with relation to legal areas
1. Header and sub-header, e.g.
„Safety data Sheet according ….“
„Classification according to …..“
2. Languages, e.g.
„EU-ES (European Spanish)“
„MX-ES (Mexican Spanish)“
3. Different contents, e.g.
„SECTION 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15“ (see next slide)
4. Special annexes, e.g.
„Exposure scenarios“ in Europe  ESCOM
