Validates the 16 mandatory sections and cross-checks chemical concentrations against CLP thresholds to auto-suggest H and P phrases. The skill covers **two key regulatory markets** with distinct requirements: - **EU (REACH Annex II)** — Full 16-section SDS per Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/878, including REACH registration numbers, DNELs/PNECs, Seveso III assessment, and EUH supplemental phrases. - **Brazil (NBR 14725-4)** — FISPQ with NR-15 occupational exposure limits, ANTT transport classification, NBR 10004 waste codes, and CONAMA/Anvisa/IBAMA regulatory references. ## Getting Started Add your chemical data — formulation sheets, existing SDS drafts, or raw composition data — to the project workspace. Then activate the *Chemical Safety (SDS Author)* skill. The agent will scope your product, determine the hazard classification from composition, draft all 16 sections using the built-in template, and validate the result with both automated tools. ## Example Conversation Below is an example of how a typical SDS authoring session unfolds. The agent scopes the product, derives the hazard classification, drafts the document, and validates it. > **You:** We need to draft an SDS for our industrial surface cleaner, "CleanPro X200". It's a mixture sold in the EU and Brazil. Composition: 10% sodium hydroxide (CAS 1310-73-2), 5% isopropanol (CAS 67-63-0), 2% sodium hypochlorite (CAS 7681-52-9), balance is water. We don't have a classification yet. > > **Agent:** I'll guide you through the full SDS. Let me confirm a few details: > > 1. **Physical form:** Is this a liquid solution? What colour and odour? > 2. **Packaging:** How is it supplied (drums, bottles, IBCs)? > 3. **REACH registration:** Do you hold REACH registrations for these substances, or do you purchase from registered EU suppliers? > 4. **Emergency telephone:** Do you have a 24/7 EU emergency number, and a Brazilian one (CEATOX or PRÓ-QUÍMICA)? > > Meanwhile, let me derive the classification. At 10%, **sodium hydroxide** (CAS 1310-73-2) well exceeds the Skin Corr. 1A threshold of 1% — this drives the mixture to **Skin Corr. 1A; H314**. The **isopropanol** at 5% is above its 1% threshold — it contributes **Flam. Liq. 2; H225** and **Eye Irrit. 2; H319**. The **sodium hypochlorite** at 2% is above 1% — contributing **Skin Corr. 1B; H314** (already covered by the NaOH classification) and **Aquatic Acute 1; H400**. > > **Overall mixture classification:** > - Flam. Liq. 2 — H225 > - Skin Corr. 1A — H314 > - Eye Dam. 1 — H318 (subsumed by H314) > - Aquatic Acute 1 — H400 > - Met. Corr. 1 — H290 > > **Signal word:** Danger > **Pictograms:** GHS02, GHS05, GHS09 > > **You:** It's a clear, pale yellow liquid with a chlorine-like odour. Supplied in 5L and 20L HDPE containers. We buy from registered EU suppliers — we're a downstream user. For emergency: we use the National Poisons Information Service (UK +44 344 892 0111) for EU, and PRÓ-QUÍMICA 0800-118270 for Brazil. > > **Agent:** I've started the SDS from the template. A few important points I've flagged: > > 1. **Flammability note:** At 5% isopropanol in aqueous solution, the mixture's overall flash point is likely above 60°C — which would make Flam. Liq. 2 (H225) inapplicable. Do you have flash point test data? If the flash point is > 60°C, we can remove the flammability classification. If not, I'll keep it as a conservative classification. > > 2. **Sodium hypochlorite instability:** NaClO decomposes in the presence of acids and generates chlorine gas. I've added "EUH206: Warning! Do not use together with other products. May release dangerous gases (chlorine)." to Section 2 for the EU version. This is an EU-specific supplemental phrase. > > 3. **Aquatic toxicity M-factor:** For sodium hypochlorite with M-factor = 10, at 2% concentration the effective concentration for classification is 20%, which keeps us in Aquatic Acute 1. > > I've now populated all 16 sections. Let me run validation. > > I've run the `sds_16_point_validator` — all 16 sections present, EU and Brazilian regulatory references included. Two warnings: Section 8 is missing the NR-15 OEL for sodium hydroxide (I've found it: LT = valor teto 8 mg/m³) and Section 14 needs the ANTT hazard class. Let me fix those. > > I've also run the `hazard_phrase_mapper` — it confirmed all H phrases are present for the three active ingredients above their thresholds. It flagged two missing P phrases (P273 for environmental protection, P391 for spill collection) which I've now added. > > The SDS is complete. Shall I review any specific section in detail? ## Sample Output Excerpt Below is a representative excerpt from a validated SDS, showing the Section 2 label elements and Section 3 composition — the two sections most scrutinised by REACH inspectors and downstream users. --- ### Section 2: Hazards Identification — CleanPro X200 **Classification per CLP (EC 1272/2008):** | Hazard Class | Category | H Phrase | |-------------|----------|----------| | Skin Corr. | 1A | H314 | | Aquatic Acute | 1 | H400 | | Met.

Checks performed: - **Section coverage** — Verifies all 16 mandatory section headings are present (Sections 1–16 per REACH Annex II / GHS / NBR 14725-4) - **Sub-section content** — Detects empty or under-populated sections by checking for expected keywords within each section boundary - **GHS labelling elements** — Checks for signal words (Danger/Warning), pictogram codes (GHS01–GHS09), H phrases, and P phrases - **EU market compliance** — REACH references, CLP references, registration numbers, Seveso III - **Brazil market compliance** — NBR 14725/ABNT references, NR-15 OELs, CONAMA/IBAMA/Anvisa/ANTT references - **Placeholder detection** — Finds unfilled markers ([INSERT], [TODO], [TBD], [PREENCHER], etc.) Accepts an optional `market` parameter ("eu", "br", or "both") to tailor checks. **Example output:** ``` ====================================================================== SDS 16-SECTION VALIDATION REPORT REACH Annex II / GHS Rev.8 / NBR 14725-4 ====================================================================== Document: output/sds-document.md Target market: BOTH Sections found: 16 / 16 --- SECTION COVERAGE --- ✓ Section 1: Identification of the substance/mixture ... ✓ Section 2: Hazards identification ... ✓ Section 16: Other information --- SUMMARY --- Sections present: 16 / 16 Errors: 0 Warnings: 1 Info: 3 RESULT: REVIEW NEEDED — address warnings to strengthen compliance. ====================================================================== ``` ### `hazard_phrase_mapper` Cross-checks composition against the CLP Regulation to verify H/P phrase correctness. Checks performed: - **Substance identification** — Extracts chemical names, CAS numbers, and concentrations from the document - **CLP threshold comparison** — Compares each substance's concentration against its classification threshold (built-in database of ~16 common industrial chemicals) - **H phrase verification** — Reports missing H phrases for substances above their CLP classification threshold - **P phrase verification** — Reports missing recommended P phrases - **GHS pictogram consistency** — Verifies expected pictograms are declared in the document - **Unknown substances** — Flags substances not in the built-in database for manual verification via the ECHA C&L Inventory **Example output:** ``` ====================================================================== HAZARD PHRASE MAPPING REPORT CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008) / GHS ====================================================================== Document: output/sds-document.md Substances found: 3 Substances in CLP database: 3 --- SUBSTANCE ANALYSIS --- Sodium hydroxide (CAS 1310-73-2, line 45): Concentration: 10% CLP classification: Skin Corr. 1A; Eye Dam. 1 Classification threshold: 1% Above threshold: YES Expected H phrases: H314, H290 Matched H phrases: H314, H290 Pictograms: GHS05 Signal word: Danger --- SUMMARY --- Substances analysed: 3 Database matches: 3 Above threshold: 3 Errors: 0 Warnings: 0 RESULT: COMPLIANT — all identified substances have correct H/P phrase coverage. ====================================================================== ``` The agent runs both tools iteratively — first the `sds_16_point_validator` for structural completeness and market compliance, then the `hazard_phrase_mapper` for hazard phrase verification — and surfaces findings inline so issues are resolved before distribution to customers or regulatory submission. --- Back to [Skill Library](https://rakenne.app/skills/index.md)
