SDS is an important element of hazard communication and provides a mechanism for transmitting safety information on classified substances and mixtures, and certain non-classified substances and mixtures, including information from the relevant chemical safety reports down the supply chain to the immediate downstream users. The legal requirements governing SDS are now an integral part of the REACH Regulation, with Annex II of REACH describing the content of SDS, and this SDS update will happen gradually after 1 Dec. 2010,

SDS規定了以下必要的項目，共16項：

1.物品與廠商資料

2.危害辨識資料

3.成份識別資料 

4.急救措施 

5.滅火措施 

6.洩漏處理方法 

7.安全處置以及儲存方法 

8.暴露預防措施 

9.物理及化學性質 

10.反應性和安定性 

11.毒性資料 

12.生態資料

自2007年6月1日，歐盟一最重要法案，名為REACH已正式生效。隨著主管機構歐洲化學總署（ECHA）於2008年6月1日正式成立，法規要求的註冊、告知及限制要求已逐步開始實施。從法規開始實施以來，法規持續的更新也將各項義務的要求不斷提升。特別是企業最為關注的SVHC候選清單，截至2010年6月18日，已公告的SVHC候選清單總數達38項，ECHA表示預計2012年之前有106種物質將被確認並收入SVHC清單。
