Full title and description

GOST 30333-2022 — "Safety data sheet of chemical products. General requirements" (Russian: ГОСТ 30333-2022, Паспорт безопасности химической продукции. Общие требования). A national (interstate) standard that sets out the required structure, content, presentation and minimum information for safety data sheets (SDS, referred to in Russian practice as Chemical Safety Passports) for chemical products placed on circulation in the territory of the Russian Federation and participating states of the interstate standards system.

Abstract

GOST 30333-2022 updates and replaces the previous edition (GOST 30333-2007) to harmonize Russian SDS requirements with the seventh revised edition of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UN GHS, Rev. 7). The standard defines mandatory SDS content, recommended section order and content elements, formatting and presentation rules, and exemptions/exclusions. It is intended to ensure that users (manufacturers, importers, distributors, employers and emergency responders) receive consistent, clear and sufficient hazard, handling, storage and emergency information for chemical products.

General information

• Status: Active / accepted (replaces GOST 30333-2007).
• Publication date: Approved 7 July 2022; originally scheduled for entry into force 1 January 2023 (Rosstandart issued administrative notices affecting the implementation date—see notes in Scope).
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart).
• ICS / categories: 13.100 (Environment. Occupational safety and industrial hygiene / Safety of chemical products).
• Edition / version: First edition, 2022 (designation: GOST 30333-2022).
• Number of pages: Typically 16–18 pages depending on format/translation (publisher variations exist).

Scope

Specifies general requirements for the content, structure, presentation and updating of safety data sheets (SDS) for chemical products that are released into circulation. The standard is applicable when preparing SDS for supply, use, storage, transport and emergency response in the Russian market. It harmonizes SDS requirements with UN GHS (7th revision) and sets out mandatory sections and information items. Exclusions typically include minerals in their natural state, finished pharmaceuticals and veterinary products, finished perfumes and cosmetics, radioactive and nuclear substances, finished food products, tobacco products, and chemical wastes destined for burial or destruction; specific national legislation may add or clarify exclusions and registration requirements.

Key topics and requirements

• Required SDS sections and recommended order (identity, hazard identification, composition/ingredients, first-aid measures, fire-fighting measures, accidental release, handling and storage, exposure controls / PPE, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal, transport, regulatory information, and other information).
• Minimum content for each section (clear hazard statements, precautionary statements, classification references, exposure controls, recommended PPE, safe handling, storage conditions and emergency measures).
• Harmonization with UN GHS (7th revised edition) for classification, hazard communication and standardized phrases.
• Language and presentation rules — SDS must be provided in the national language(s) required by law and be clear, legible and unambiguous; numeric, units and threshold values should follow national conventions.
• Requirements for mixture composition disclosure and concentration ranges, with provisions for confidential business information where permitted by law.
• Instructions for updating and revision of SDS when new hazard or regulatory information becomes available.
• References to related standards for hazard classification and labelling (used to determine SDS content), and to relevant transport and waste rules where applicable.
• Administrative / registration provisions in national practice: national rules may require registration or submission of SDS (Chemical Safety Passport) to an authorized registry prior to market placement.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers, formulators, importers and distributors of chemical products preparing SDS for the Russian market; EHS and occupational safety professionals; regulatory and compliance teams; product stewardship and technical documentation authors; laboratories, emergency responders and transporters who rely on SDS for safe handling, storage, transport and response to incidents.

Related standards

Commonly used together with: GOST 32419-2022 (hazard classification of chemical products — general requirements), GOST 31340-2022 (warning/precautionary labelling of chemical products — general requirements), national transport and waste handling regulations, and the UN GHS (7th revised edition) guidance for classification and labelling of chemicals. It replaces or updates provisions from GOST 30333-2007 (previous edition).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 30333-2022 is the Russian (interstate) standard that defines general requirements for safety data sheets (SDS) for chemical products — their content, structure and presentation — aligned with the UN GHS (7th revision).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It prescribes the mandatory sections and minimum content of SDS (identity, hazard identification, composition, first aid, fire-fighting, accidental release, handling & storage, exposure controls, physical/chemical properties, toxicology, ecology, disposal, transport, regulatory information, etc.), formatting/presentation rules, update procedures and scope/exclusions.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, importers, distributors, product stewardship and regulatory compliance teams, EHS professionals, SDS authors, laboratories, transporters and emergency responders operating in or supplying into the Russian market and other states that adopt the interstate standard.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current (adopted in 2022). It supersedes the earlier edition GOST 30333-2007. Note: approval date is 7 July 2022. Implementation/entry-into-force dates reported in administrative notices vary — the standard was scheduled for implementation around 1 January 2023 with later Rosstandart administrative notices affecting exact enforcement dates; users should confirm the effective date applicable to their sector or jurisdiction.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of a set of revised chemical safety-related standards introduced in 2022 to align with UN GHS Rev.7 and is commonly used together with GOST 32419-2022 (hazard classification) and GOST 31340-2022 (labelling). It continues the national system of standards on chemical safety and replaces the previous GOST 30333 edition.
