As a product that may come into contact with the skin or be used in specific scenarios, obtaining an SDS report can indeed ensure its safety during production, transportation, and use, and also give customers more peace of mind.
Guidelines for Handling SDS Reports on Fabrics
1、 Basic understanding of SDS report
SDS (Safety Data Sheet) is a regulatory document that provides detailed information on the physical and chemical properties, hazard information, safe operation, and emergency measures of a product. For fabrics, especially textiles containing chemical treatment agents (such as flame retardants, waterproofing agents) or dyes, SDS reports are important documents for export trade and production safety management.
2、 Core content of SDS report for fabrics (16 standard modules)
1. Substance/mixture and enterprise identification: fabric product name, brand, manufacturer information
2. Hazard identification: such as irritant (dye allergy risk), environmental hazards (biodegradability of certain dyes)
3. Ingredient information: Fiber type (cotton/polyester, etc.), CAS number and content of dyes/additives (such as azo dyes ≤ 30mg/kg)
4. First aid measures: cleaning methods after skin contact, handling after inhaling dust
5. Fire protection measures: Burning performance of fabric (if flame retardant fabric needs to be labeled with flame retardant grade)
6. Emergency response to leakage: cleaning methods for fabric debris during the production process
7. Handling and storage: Storage environment (moisture-proof, avoid direct sunlight)
8. Contact control/personal protection: Production workers are required to wear dust masks and gloves
9. Physical and chemical properties: pH value (textile water extract), combustion rate
10. Stability and reactivity: whether it contains easily decomposable components (such as certain fluorescent whitening agents)
11. Toxicological information: dye skin irritation test data
12. Ecological information: dye biodegradation rate, impact on aquatic organisms
13. Waste disposal: recycling of scraps or environmental protection requirements
14. Transportation information: Non hazardous goods transportation (unless containing hazardous chemical handling agents)
15. Regulatory Information: Compliant with GB 18401 Technical Specification for Textile Safety and EU REACH Regulation
16. Other information: report preparation date, revision records
3、 Complete the entire process (3-5 working days)
1. Data preparation stage
Essential materials:
Fabric Composition Table (Fiber Content, Dye/Additive Name and CAS Number, such as "Reactive Red 195, CAS 12225-06-8, Content 0.5%")
Production process description (whether it has undergone chemical treatment such as flame retardant and waterproof)
Product Safety Data Sheet (if available, can be expedited)
Attention: If the fabric contains multiple colors/batches, corresponding ingredient information must be provided separately
2. Choose a professional institution
Qualification requirements: Possess CMA/CNAS certification, familiar with GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) and target export country regulations (such as EU REACH, US OSHA)
Recommended Institution: Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration Number: L8083
3. Report preparation and review
Based on the provided ingredient information and combined with databases such as the EU ECHA database, the institution evaluates the hazards and prepares a report that meets the required format
Key audit items:
⚠️ Does the dye contain azo compounds, heavy metals (lead/cadmium, etc.)
⚠️ Does the additive belong to REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
4. Delivery and Application
Delivery of PDF electronic version+paper report (if required), the report is usually valid for 3-5 years (if ingredient or regulatory updates need to be recompiled)
Application scenarios: export customs clearance, listing on platforms such as Amazon, factory safety training
4、 Common Misconceptions in Fabric Enterprises
Misconception 1: "Pure cotton fabric does not require SDS"
→ Error! If chemical dyes or finishing agents (such as softeners) are used, they still need to be processed
Misconception 2: "The report can be applied to all countries"
→ Error! The EU needs to comply with CLP regulations (16 items), while the US OSHA requires 11 core modules that need to be adjusted accordingly
Misconception 3: "Ingredient information can be filled in vaguely"
→ Error! The CAS number and content must be accurate, otherwise they may be detained by customs due to "incomplete information"
5、 Efficient handling techniques
Preparation in advance: Requesting MSDS from dye/additive suppliers can directly serve as a basis for preparation
Urgent service: Pay 30% -50% of the urgent fee, and the report can be issued within 1-2 working days (applicable to urgent orders)
Long term cooperation: Sign an annual service agreement with institutions to enjoy bulk discounts and regulatory update reminders
If you need the regional contact information of a certain testing institution, or if you need a template for the fabric composition table (including an example of filling in the CAS number), please let me know and I will help you further organize it~
