Professional SDS (GBF) Preparation for Turkey, the EU and Global Markets

Product safety and regulatory compliance go well beyond the question of "do we have an SDS?”. A properly prepared SDS/GBF is critical for supply-chain acceptance, smooth customs flows, passing customer quality audits, and sustainable sales in the market. At Pier Compliance we treat SDS/GBF as regulatory engineering, not document production: we manage Turkey (GBF Regulation + KKDIK Annex-2 + SEA), EU (REACH + CLP) and country-based GHS requirements in a single control logic to make the document defensible.

Who Is This Service For?

• Manufacturers (formula and portfolio management) • Importers/Distributors (Turkey GBF obligations) • Exporters (EU country language requirements, customer audits) • Retail/E-commerce (documentation standardization) • High-compliance-risk sectors (chemicals, cosmetics, biocidal, industrial products)

Turkey, EU and Global Scope

GBF Preparation for Turkey (KDU Mandatory) In Turkey the official equivalent of SDS is GBF; a translated SDS alone is usually not accepted. GBF must be prepared in line with the GBF Regulation and KKDIK Annex-2 format (16 headings), aligned with SEA classification/labelling logic, and completed with KDU approval/workflow. SDS for the EU (REACH + CLP) In the EU, SDS is assessed under the REACH/CLP framework. In most cases the official language of the target country is mandatory. We structure your SDS set to align with country and customer checklists. Scope: • REACH/CLP compliant SDS • Delivery in local language (e.g., DE/IT/FR) • Optional: additional checks against customer/supply-chain checklists Global SDS (Country-Specific GHS) A single "global SDS” is often insufficient. GHS adaptations vary by country. We prepare per target market requirements.

How Fast Delivery (24–48 Hours) Works

Fast delivery depends on data completeness. With the following in place, the process speeds up: • Full formula (CAS/EC + % range) • Physicochemical properties (pH, flash point, density, etc.) • Existing SDS/label/technical documents • Target country and language list

Information Checklist for a Quote

1) Product name and use area 2) Product type: substance/mixture 3) Components: CAS/EC + percentages/ranges 4) Physical properties: pH, flash point, density, appearance, odor, etc. 5) Target markets: Turkey / EU countries / others + language 6) Existing SDS/label/technical document (if any) 7) Customer-specific requirements (checklist/format) We can proceed under an NDA at the start of the process if required.

Revision Management

SDS/GBF has no "expiry date,” but revision is required when: • Formula/component/supplier changes • SEA/CLP/KKDIK/REACH updates • New toxicological/ecotoxicological data or classification rationale changes • SDS updates from upstream supply chain We manage revisions with version numbers, change summaries and controlled distribution.

Conclusion

Incomplete or incorrect SDS/GBF increases the risk of audit findings, supplier rejection, shipment delays and administrative penalties. Standardize your SDS/GBF process with Pier Compliance; reduce surprise risks in audit, customs and customer QA processes.

How the Process Works

  1. Data Collection & Confidentiality: Formula and technical data are collected under NDA.
  2. Classification & Assessment: Physical hazard + toxicological/ecotoxicological review.
  3. Draft & Feedback: Draft document is shared; corrections are incorporated as needed.
  4. Final Delivery: Final SDS/GBF is delivered; label content draft provided on request.

FAQ

What is the difference between MSDS and SDS?

"MSDS” is legacy terminology. The current standardized format is "SDS.” In Türkiye, SDS is officially called "GBF.” The structure has 16 sections aligned with GHS/CLP/SEA.

Why is KDU important in Türkiye?

In Türkiye, GBF must be prepared by a qualified person and completed with KDU approval/workflow to be valid.

Is English SDS sufficient for export?

Usually not. In the EU, SDS must be provided in the official language of the target country; customer checklists may add further requirements.

Do you also handle UFI / PCN?

Yes. UFI/PCN scope is priced separately based on product and country count.
