Last week, ECHA announced an update to the guidance on the compilation of safety data sheets (SDSs).
The updated guidance includes an overview of the relationship between EU SDS sections and the standard entries of the Exposure Scenario (ES) under REACH. This overview was already available in another guidance document, but is now included in version 2.0 of the Guidance on the compilation of safety data sheets.
Here are the ES sections, and the relevant EU SDS sections in red:
