GOST 30333-2007 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 30333-2007 — "Паспорт безопасности химической продукции. Общие требования" (Chemical production safety passport / Safety data sheet of chemical products — General requirements). The standard defines the required structure, content, presentation and formatting of a safety data sheet (passport of chemical safety) for chemical substances, mixtures, materials and industrial wastes, and lists exclusions and national presentation features for use within the member states of the interstate standards system.

Abstract

GOST 30333-2007 establishes a uniform template and minimum information requirements for safety data sheets used to communicate hazards, safe handling, storage, transport, emergency and disposal measures for chemical products. It is intended to ensure reliable safety information for professional and consumer users, regulators and emergency services. The document is relatively concise (11 pages) and sets out mandatory section headings and the types of technical, toxicological, ecological and regulatory data to be provided.

General information

• Status: In force (interstate standard); scheduled to be replaced by a newer edition (see FAQ).
• Publication date: Adopted 2007 (registration 24 October 2007); put into effect 01 January 2009.
• Publisher: Issued as an interstate GOST (Interstate Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification) and entered into national catalogues via the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology / Standartinform (Moscow).
• ICS / categories: 13.100 — Environment, health protection and safety; occupational safety and industrial hygiene.
• Edition / version: Designation year 2007 (ГОСТ 30333-2007); text published as the 2007 edition and brought into effect 2009-01-01.
• Number of pages: 11 pages (short-format standard).

Scope

The standard applies to safety data sheets (passports of chemical safety) developed for chemical products that are commercial goods: substances, mixtures, materials and industrial production wastes. It does not apply to minerals in their natural state, finished medicinal products, finished perfumery and cosmetic products, radioactive/nuclear materials, ready-to-eat food products and chemicals produced under closed nomenclature. The SDS prepared to GOST 30333-2007 is intended to accompany technical documentation and supply chains to inform safe industrial and consumer use, storage, transport and disposal.

Key topics and requirements

• Mandatory structure and headings for a safety data sheet (identification, hazard identification, composition/information on ingredients, first aid measures, firefighting measures, accidental release measures, handling and storage, exposure controls/personal protection, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal considerations, transport information, regulatory information and information sources).
• Minimum content items and recommended numeric endpoints where available (e.g., acute toxicity figures, exposure limits, ecotoxicity indicators, stability/decomposition hazards).
• Presentation and formatting requirements (title page form, list of information sources used to compile the SDS, clarity and language considerations, and national annotations consistent with GHS harmonization but with specified national features).
• Exclusions and special categories of substances not covered by the standard (see Scope).
• Requirement that the SDS be part of the technical and accompanying documentation supplied to purchasers and used in conformity assessment/regulatory processes in EAEU / member jurisdictions where the interstate standard is applied.

Typical use and users

Primary users are chemical manufacturers, formulators, importers, distributors, technical documentation authors and certification bodies who prepare and register safety data sheets for products placed on the market. Secondary users include occupational safety specialists, industrial hygienists, emergency responders, environmental authorities, transport and waste management personnel, and clients/end-users who must follow safe-handling instructions. The SDS is commonly used in conformity assessment and regulatory filings across EAEU and CIS jurisdictions.

Related standards

GOST 30333-2007 is related to earlier and subsequent documents on chemical safety and classification (e.g., the replaced GOST 30333-95), other GOSTs and national technical regulations implementing classification, labelling and transport rules, and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of classification and labelling (as a harmonization reference). Recent national/regulatory documents and updated interstate standards (a 2022-designated replacement) provide the current pathway for harmonized SDS requirements in some jurisdictions.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 30333-2007 is an interstate standard titled "Паспорт безопасности химической продукции. Общие требования" which sets out general requirements for the content, structure and presentation of safety data sheets for chemical products.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the mandatory sections and minimum information that must appear in a safety data sheet for substances, mixtures, materials and industrial wastes — including hazard identification, composition, first aid, firefighting, accidental release, handling/storage, exposure controls, physical/chemical properties, stability/reactivity, toxicology, ecology, disposal and transport information. It also lists exclusions and national presentation features.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Chemical producers, importers, SDS authors and registrars, conformity-assessment bodies, occupational safety and environmental professionals, emergency services and downstream users who rely on SDSs for safe handling, transport, storage and disposal.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As published, GOST 30333-2007 was introduced into force on 01 January 2009 and has been widely used; however, a later interstate standard (GOST 30333 with a 2022 designation) has been prepared to replace the 2007 edition, with a scheduled entry-into-force noted in official catalogues (replacement effective date listed as 01 March 2026 in registry summaries). Users should verify the current legal/effective status in their jurisdiction because transition dates and national adoptions can vary.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: The document continues the sequence of GOSTs addressing chemical safety and safety data sheets (it replaces earlier GOST 30333-95) and is linked conceptually to other national and interstate standards implementing GHS-aligned hazard communication requirements.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Safety data sheet (SDS), passport of chemical safety, hazard communication, chemical product, GOST, GHS harmonization, occupational safety, toxicology, ecology, transport, disposal.
